The Colour Of The Earth |
Louis was my dearest friend |
Fighting in the ANZAC trench |
Louis ran forth from the line |
I never saw him again |
Later in the dark |
I thought I heard Louis' voice |
Calling for his mother, then me |
But I couldn’t get to him |
He’s still up on that hill |
20 years on that hill |
Nothing more than a pile of bones |
But I think of him still |
If I was asked I’d tell |
The colour of the earth that day |
It was dull and browny red |
The colour of blood, I’d say |
