《Green Fields Of France(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Green Fields Of France - The High Kings

[00:00:37] Well how do you do young Willy McBride

[00:00:42] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside

[00:00:48] And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun

[00:00:52] I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

[00:00:59] I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen

[00:01:04] When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen

[00:01:11] I hope you died well

[00:01:13] And I hope you died clean

[00:01:16] Oh young Willy McBride was is it slow and obscene

[00:01:21] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:01:24] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:01:27] Did they sound the death march as

[00:01:30] They lowered you down

[00:01:34] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:01:39] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:01:49] Did you leave here a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:55] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:02:00] Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen

[00:02:05] In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen

[00:02:12] Or are you a stranger without even a name

[00:02:17] Enclosed then forever behind a glass pane

[00:02:24] In an old photograph torn battered and stained

[00:02:29] And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

[00:02:35] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:02:38] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:02:40] Did they sound the death march as

[00:02:43] They lowered you down

[00:02:47] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:02:53] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:03:03] The sun now shines o'er the green fields of France

[00:03:08] There's a warm summer breeze

[00:03:10] That makes the red poppies dance

[00:03:14] And look how the sun shines from under the clouds

[00:03:19] There's no gas no barbed wire there's no gun firing now

[00:03:26] But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land

[00:03:31] The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:03:39] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

[00:03:44] To a whole generation that were butchered and damned

[00:03:49] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:03:52] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:03:55] Did they sound the death march as

[00:03:57] They lowered you down

[00:04:02] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:04:07] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:04:17] Now young Willy McBride I can't help but wonder why

[00:04:23] Do those that lie here know why they died

[00:04:29] And did they believe when they answered the call

[00:04:33] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:04:41] For the sorrow the suffering the glory the shame

[00:04:46] The killing and dying were all done in vain

[00:04:52] For young Willy McBride it all happened again

[00:04:58] And again and again and again and again

[00:05:03] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:05:06] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:05:09] Did they sound the death march as

[00:05:12] They lowered you down

[00:05:16] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:05:21] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
