field
Lyrics
Verse
War torn bruised our spirits never broken
holding out with dreams which were always spoken
That one day when finally at no man's heels
We'd celebrate raise a glass in an English field
Verse
War was now over but scars cut so deep
though thank God when we returned to peace
lucky to survive wounds eventually healed
through hell we knew one day we'd walk an English field.
Verse
We walked through meadows and by flowing streams
over FELLS with no boundaries we were free
Then we both rested we prayed and kneeled
thankfull for our freedom in that English field.
Instrumental
Bridge
Heard the sound of a distant farmers gun
as the hot August sun shone.
We were old soldiers we dived to get clear
but into a cow pat with two bottles of beer
Verse
We walked through meadows and by flowing streams
over FELLS with no boundaries we were free
Then we both rested we prayed and kneeled
thankfull for our freedom in that English field.
Verse
My pal and I parted vowed to meet again
but life takes over and that promise remained
Until one day a letter sent to me revealed
old comrade before I go let's walk an English field
[Verse
The time then come to say a final goodbye
I felt a tear fall from my old grey eyes
With loved ones there a last wish was fulfilled
his ashes were laid to rest in an English field
Verse
We walked through meadows and by flowing streams
over FELLS with no boundaries we were free
Then we both rested we prayed and kneeled
thankfull for our freedom in that English field.
