The Levellers
The Levellers - Maid Of The River songtekst
Je score:
So beautiful plain As fresh as the country That gave her her name As crips as the snow And as swift as the rain She shone like the sun Before all of our games She shone like a jewel But her price was not gold She cired more than most When her story was told But her people were evil Left her baron and cold And her heart went to market Where her body was sold I said : 'Hey, hey won't you take me away Cos I can't see the point In the dawn of the day So many killers gonna take you away They'll leave nothing left except hatred' She's the goddess of love The goddess in green The goddess of all That I've ever seen The goddess of hope The goddess in brown The goddess of all That you've burned to the ground There's all kind of hatred Flows out of man's hands There's the hatred that strangles The throat of a man But the worst of all hatred Is that which is planned Against what we have In this goddess of land
