p j harvey - the colour of the earth كلمات أغنية

louis was my dearest friend
fighting in the anzac trench.
louis ran forward from the line,
and i never saw him again.

later in the dark
i though i heard louis’ voice
calling for his mother, then me,
but i couldn’t get to him.

he’s still up there on that hill.
20 years on that hill.
nothing more than a pile of bones,
but i think of him still

if i was asked i’d tell
the colour of the earth that day;
it was dull and browny-red,
“the colour of blood” i’d say.
