The Wind-Worn Hill

Intro

Mm

Stone and shadow

Verse 1

Crosses row on row on a slow green hill

Names I never knew but I read them still

The grass remembers what the guns took home

A hundred thousand voices in the loam

Pre-Chorus

I walk the lanes where the poppies bloom

And every stone is a silent tomb

Chorus

Remember the fallen who answered the call

Remember the boys who gave it all

Under the crosses they lie so still

Remember the ones on the wind-worn hill

Verse 2

A letter folded in a soldier's chest

A mother's trembling hands at rest

They marched for meadows they'd never see

Beneath a sky that was never free

Pre-Chorus

I touch the names worn smooth by time

Each one a heartbeat lost to the line

Chorus

Remember the fallen who answered the call

Remember the boys who gave it all

Under the crosses they lie so still

Remember the ones on the wind-worn hill

Bridge

The bugle fades to a distant cry

And the red sky deepens into night

Dust to dust and earth to earth

Sleep the ones who knew their worth

Chorus

Remember the fallen who answered the call

Remember the boys who gave it all

Under the crosses they lie so still

Remember the ones on the wind-worn hill
