Hallowed Ground Lyrics - The Alarm

Well the docks lie crippled 

In the northem towns 

The boys have all gone away 

Trying to find work down south 

And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow 

Won't someone have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, soul, soul 

HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound 

In a valley that once sang out sang proud 

HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground 

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town 

Now I've seen the future 

And I've seen the past 

And I've seen the lights go down 

On this world fading fast 

And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow 

Won't someone have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, soul, soul 

HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound 

In a valley that once sang out sang proud 

HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground 

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town 

And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow 

Won't someone have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, soul, soul 

HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound 

In a valley that once sang out sang proud 

HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground 

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town 

Now I've got a wife and a young child 

Back home in my house 

Oh I've got someone 

I've got to take care of somehow
