Fairport Convention - John Condon lyrics
rate meJust 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
