| | | Artist: | Travis Tritt |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Day The Sun Stood Still | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | We were young and bound for glory
Itchin' for a fight like you
Bringin' hell and
purgatory
To the boys who wore the blue
And I thought I'd seen it all
Till the day night
wouldn't fall
Oh, how the sun did blaze
Wouldn't go down for days
I got shot and lost my
rifle
When the first wave hit the rise
And the guns rolled out like thunder
And the
black smoke burned my eyes
And I watched it all unfold
Just the way the Bible
told
Joshua's endless day
Keepin' the night at bay
And the soldiers kept a
comin'
Til the ground looked like a sea
Of blue and grey
And I watched it from a
distance
Wonderin' if I would've fought or run away
The day the sun stood still
How
they beat the bloody drums
And the seconds moved like hours
But the sunset never
comes
And the cannons shake the ground
And the bullets test your will
Even shadows found
no cover
On that Godforsaken hill
The day the sun stood still
And I watched them
lean their shoulders
To the fearful hail of lead
And I prayed for night to save us
And I
cried and bowed my head
Bt the sun just kept a-creepin'
'Cross a cold indifferent
sky
Castin' a deadly glow
On all the men below
All the hours in a lifetime
Don't add
up to one while minute in that sun
And the heroes and the cowards
Look the same when they
have fallen by the gun
The day the sun stood still
And the north and south looked
west
But the evening star was sleeping
And the daylight wouldn't rest
Out on the killing
floor
The red sun on the the hill
Shinin' down on all the dead men
With a strange and
eerie chill
The day the sun stood still
