Field Of Heather Lyrics

I saw hell in the second war
Belgium winter '44
I tore a few pages from the book of life
And never told a soul

'Cause they never will escape my mind
I've heard their cries a thousand times
Forgive me, Lord, I tried to do it on my own

Was it the wild weather
In a field of heather
So scared we had to pray?
Or the sudden shiver
Of a roaring river
That led my youth away?
And if the dice rolls seven
And the gates of heaven
Open up when I am grey
I'll repent to high
Every crime
'Til I hear those angels sing
Yeah, yeah. I can hear them singing

So how long do you wait, 'til you see a sign?
It's the part that gets me every time
I've wrestled to the ground that side of my soul
And I can't deny

'Cause they never will escape my mind
I've heard that cry a thousand times
Forgive me, Lord, I tried but I can't let it go

Was it the wild weather
In a field of heather
So scared we had to pray?
Or the sudden shiver
Of a roaring river
That led my youth away?
And if the dice rolls seven
And the gates of heaven
Open up when I am grey
I'll repent to high
Every crime
'Til I hear those angels sing
Yeah, yeah. I can hear them singing

And oh, I know

That if the dice rolls seven
And the gates of heaven
Open up when I am grey
I will repent to high
Every crime
'Til I hear those angels sing
Yeah, yeah. I can hear them singing
