Fairport Convention - John Condon lyrics

rate me

Just a day , another date

Meet the Belgian sun

I stray my _____ no rope

Until I see the ______

Carved in stone

With the heart and crown

Little crosses in the ground

And standing there my Simon prayed

For this boy who died, the soldier

Heroes that don’t come home

I’ve seen out all their souls

Here they lie in Belgian fields

And pay the tears

Just a recruit and soldiers_______

An island shows to him

This living hell, this ___chapel

Where young men die like John Condon

Carved in stone

With the heart and crown

Little crosses in the ground

Stand up and prove the bitter truth

The waste of youth that lies forgotten

Heroes that don’t come home

I’ve seen out all their souls

Here they lie in Belgian fields

And pay the tears

Instrumental

Now tell me John

For I don’t want

What did you come here for?

With islands, your life untold

14 years old to die as a soldier

All around ______

The tosses in the ground

What have I deserved? So underserved

Heroes that don’t come home

I’ve seen out all their souls

Here they lie in Belgian fields

And pay the tears
