Soldiers on the Hill

from Shut Up Dog We're Dancing by Man Named Pearl

/

lyrics

Sailed across the wide open ocean
Hands a'wavin' in a westwardly motion
And when it came time to sink or to swim
I chose to fly high far above them

Walkin' down to the stream out side of town
Where water flows ocean bound
The bombs did once fly but I stayed inside
Watching the bullets turning the tides

And when they start a'callin'
For the soldiers on the hill
I'll stay right here with what is so dear to me
Watching the evening so still

Sailed across the wide open ocean
Hands a'wavin' in a westwardly motion
The bombs did once fly but I stayed inside
Watching the bullets turing the tides

A pacifist in the middle of a war
Michael won't you help me row my boat ashore
