Sandy Denny - Here In Silence Lyrics
Summer skies are gone for everNothing left but to rememberMorning leaves a bed of echoesTears of blood in weaping meadowsCan you see me, can you hear meCan you leave me here in silence?Drums and flags and trumpets playingArmies in the night are prayingHymns of hate to have their souls blessedFor the mornings blood shed harvestCan you reach me, can you hold meCan you leave me here in silence?Take my children, golden childrenGrow them, train them, cut them, kill themFor the justice of your jesusFor the service of your leadersCan you feel me, can you touch meCan you leave me here in silence?Innocence is gone foreverNothing left but to rememberAutumn cracks the leaves of pityWinter chokes the cries of mercyCan you free me, can you love meCan you leave me here in silence?
