The Levellers - Lowloands of Holland lyrics

rate me

The life that I have chosen

And there will be content

And the salt sea shall be frozen

Before that I repent

Repent I shall not ever

Until the day I die

For the lowlands of Holland

Have claimed my destiny

I look out onto the rolling sea

But there'll be no easy ride

It's enough to break your mind and will

There's many times we've tried

We cried together but we fought

We staked all to be free

For the lowlands of Holland

Have claimed my destiny

So you feel the wind in your hair

As we leave the old country

With seven score friends here by our side

To keep us company

Cos there's many more we've left behind

And some we'll never see

Cos the lowlands of Holland

Have claimed my destiny
