fort long - washington irving (uk) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
human bones scatter the place where i lay down
humanness is left at the place we last kissed
the siege was lifted long ago
and i guess, i can still hear the women cry
i guess, i can still hear the men die

[verse 2]
i’ve come to tempt the kindness of the coast
and see what this battlefield can boast
so i looked down at the sea
and i guess, he’s looking back at me
i guess, the things he’s seen

[chorus]
’cause i left without a word or a song
to find the figures down upon the lawn
i guess i’ll have to take this [?] on
’cause i can’t hold the fort long

[verse 3]
motte and bailey couldn’t keep them at the gates
the ground holds all our fears and fates
i hear it shake under my feet
and i guess, soon i’ll be in that good earth
a lazy bed given a wide berth
[chorus]
’cause i left without a word or a song
to find the figures down upon the lawn
i guess i’ll have to take this [?] on
’cause i can’t hold the fort long
no, i can’t hold the fort long

[coda]
[?], you will outlast us
[?], you will outlast us
[?], you will outlast us
[?], you will outlast us
