lyrics

The memories live inside of you
You've done your time in the trenches
It's written in the lines of your face
a scar that will heal but never be erased
and you wish no more to roam
so sad and lost, all alone
but there's a green field where you'll be free
over the mountains in the salt spray of the North Sea

Silence echoes through these rooms
and fades into the arms of night
one by one we travel on
and the best of us will still live in a song
so sad and lost, all alone
but there's a green field where you'll be free
over the mountains in the salt spray of the North Sea

you count your love and you count you dead
for they are one and the same
and you hear a voice lonesome on the wind
and it speaks your true love's name
it speaks your true love's name
so sad and lost, all alone
but there's a green field where you'll be free
over the mountains in the salt spray of the North Sea
