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 |
