The Levellers - Forgotten Ground lyrics
Your rating:
It's easy for a long life Don't be denied forever Under the night Come along to be this free Is what you want too Breaking the line forever Under the sun It will be done together For each to be one Come along to be is easy Taking the stars Across the road At the end of this place It's not far and anyone can go there It's waste ground There's no name on this place But it always has and always will be there There's no fence, no walls, no fools Just the summer sun And what you choose But was it only yesterday Tomorrow came and handed you the tools To burn it down Your forgotten ground The golden bough with a rope lies there For you to climb higher and higher But by this rope you can hang If you've forgotten why it was you came there And you burn it down Your forgotten ground When you are old and see this Know this is cold That when the sun rises Tall shadows will hold The ground you loved To you is broken taken from you And I carve my name and then you wrote yours The black smoke will rise up to cover the stars Nothing said to be forever except for the night That will come when we burn you down
