Full Lyrics
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 thought i heard louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me,
But i couldn't get to him.
He's still up 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
The Colour Of The Earth
por Pj Harvey
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 thought i heard louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me,
But i couldn't get to him.
He's still up 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
