In the Spring - ILYA

We travelled light and moved by night

A bitter foe we harried

We camped at dawn and ate the corn

We carried.

CHORUS

On the day the soldiers came

The bullets fell like driving rain

They drove us up to Capstan Hill

Where from our coats the grain did spill

And though to heaven we all flew

In the Spring the bright corn grew

In the Spring the bright corn grew.

On that day cut flowers we lay

Our blood through earth was seeping

And cross the sky pale riders rode by

All weeping.

CHORUS

A flame goes out no gun will doubt

How cheap the life it’s claiming

And here for you just love that’s true

Remaining

CHORUS
