pressgang - flanders (1987) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
out in the meadow, one morning in may
when the meadows were pearly with dew
it’s there that i saw a fair young lady
and the flowers in her hand were blue
i heard her singin’ a sad song
making the [?] ring

[pre_chorus]
oh, my lover’s a soldier
and he’s in flanders fighting for the king

[chorus]
and i wish the wars were over
and i wish the wars were done
for my lover’s gone to flanders
and i wish the wars were done

[verse 2]
oh, i love robin, but you’rе far away
far across the blue
and thousand bluebеlls and the woodland here
would never take the place of you
his jacket is red, his cheeks are too
red as a red, red rose
[pre_chorus]
and he sings for the girl
he left behind
as off to the battle he goes

[chorus]
and i wish the wars were over
and i wish the wars were done
for my lover’s gone to flanders
and i wish the wars were done

[bridge]
when will the bells for the homecoming ring? (when will the bells for the homecoming ring?)
when will the bells for the homecoming ring? (when will the bells for the homecoming ring?)
when will the soldiers all rejoice? (when will they rejoice?)
oh, instead, i’ll be true to your robin man

[chorus]
and i wish the wars were over
and i wish the wars were done
for my lover’s gone to flanders
and i wish the wars were done
oh, i wish the wars were over
and i wish the wars were done
for my lover’s gone to flanders
and i wish the wars were done
