We set out in late October, moving 'cross the frozen ground and we could see it in the stars we knew that we were glory bound We were looking for an answer we were looking for a sign we were waiting on a savior come and ease our worried minds Darling I swear it's true, I will come back to you in Springtime, when the lilies are in bloom hush now and dry your eyes you know I would not lie I'm coming back to you when the lilies are in bloom The general he says that it will not be very long but the air is full of smoke and those damn red coats coming on I dream your kisses on my eyelids, though it was so long ago and the boys are in the fields they're dying all alone Darling I swear it's true, I will come back to you in Springtime, when the lilies are in bloom hush now and dry your eyes you know I would not lie I'm coming back to you when the lilies are in bloom Last night they came while we were sleeping Letras de cancionesLord, they did not make a sound I took a bullet to the breast, saw my blood spill on the ground When the sun come I heard voices say this boy cannot be saved so they bowed their heads in prayer, and they dug a shallow grave Darling I've been such a fool to think that I'd be coming back to you to make you wait for me beneath the waning moon Come now, stand by my side pile the cool black stones where I lie it's Springtime, and the lilies are in bloom Tell our son not of my bravery but a soldier's tale of woe for there's no glory where I've fallen and I'm so far from my home From Letras Mania
