CROSSES IN THE SAND – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE

Many a river has run to the sea,
Many a soldier has fought to be free,
Many an arrow has flown straight and fast,
Y-e-s many a things happened, since I saw home last.

Many a sword has drawn red blood,
Many a face has lay still in the mud,
Many a child has found its mothers knee,
Y-e-s may a things happened since I last saw thee.

CHORUS - But now its all over, I’d take the road again,
For victory is sweet and the glory of men,
And its better to fight than run and then hide,
And we’d fight until we died,
My memories of enemies are crosses in the sand,
No flower grows in that bare land.

Many were the shields that glinted in the sun,
Many was the fight lost and then won,
And brave were the many men who fought without fear.
B-u-t many were the men, who wished home was near.

And manies the time through the battle fields I’d roam.
And I saw many a friend that would never see home,
And many of their faces tore wholes in my mind.
Oh Oh manies the time, I’d wished I’d been blind.

CHORUS But now it’s all over I’d take the road again,for victory...
