Here In Silence Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Summer skies are gone for ever 

Nothing left but to remember 

Morning leaves a bed of echoes 

Tears of blood in weaping meadows 

Can you see me, can you hear me 

Can you leave me here in silence? 

Drums and flags and trumpets playing 

Armies in the night are praying 

Hymns of hate to have their souls blessed 

For the morning's blood shed harvest 

Can you reach me, can you hold me 

Can you leave me here in silence? 

Take my children, golden children 

Grow them, train them, cut them, kill them 

For the justice of your Jesus 

For the service of your leaders 

Can you feel me, can you touch me 

Can you leave me here in silence? 

Innocence is gone forever 

Nothing left but to remember 

Autumn cracks the leaves of pity 

Winter chokes the cries of mercy 

Can you free me, can you love me 

Can you leave me here in silence?
