Lyrics
VERSE 1
Standing still and getting in line
As silence falls in darkening fields
Screams of freedom left behind
What is said must be agreed
They left you standing all alone
With ID cards and mobile phones
Anniversaries of heroes' deaths
Black armbands, what a mess
CHORUS
What's so wrong? Why the face so long?
VERSE 2
In a green hollow
Where a river sings
Tiny valley
Bluebells ring
There's a young soldier
Under the clouds
His mouth is open
And the light rains down
And the light rains down
And the crows come 'round
To the two red holes
In his right side, oh
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Sleeping in the sun
His hand on his breast
Nape of his neck
The blue watercress
He's just a kid
And he never knew
He would be
The sleeper in the valley so soon
So soon, so soon
And the crows, they swoon....
CHORUS
VERSE 1
CHORUS
VERSE 2
