Lyrics for We Sold Our Homesteads by Falconer:
| | | Artist: | Falconer |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | We Sold Our Homesteads | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 186 | | | | Lyrics: | We sold our homesteads and started on our way
just like the birds will fly when autumn is here
to stay.
One day they will return, come spring again that's when.
But we will never see our
native country again.
At first we travelled through the English countryside
on tracks
and on wagons as quickly as birds would fly.
It was a lovely sight to see the land at
last
but all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fast.
And later when we came to
Liverpuddlian bay
the tears of regret finally started to have their say.
The hearts then
started burning in each and everyone
we only talked of Sweden that used to be our home.
We all were packed together in one unhealthy cave
it was as if we'd stepped into an
open grave.
The food that we had brought from blessed Swedish land
was suddenly forbidden
and taken from our hand.
And when we had been sailing for just a week or two
a horrid
kind of darkness was clouding our view.
We couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or
walk
it was a gruesome anguish for all people aboard.
The air was filled with hunger
and drenched in wretched cries,
the howling and the noises would pierce right through the
skies
and death became the ruler that forces us to our knees.
The dead were buried in the
horrid fathom of the seas. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
