Silbury Sands

Lyrics for Silbury Sands

Silbury Sands Silbury Sands, like time in our hands Makes liars of ordinary men You’ll never drag the lifeboat up the mountainside Oh brother remove my fear Not with 20 horses and 100 men So I sit and pray they’ll reach the bay Arriving at a dam made by the fallen trees; Floodwater from the moors. 100 lives were swept out to the sea The river runs its course Sacking the valley heading north over… Silbury Sands, like time in our hands Makes liars of ordinary men Doctors raise their glasses to a sulphur sky together But there will be no…. Mercy for the man who put his arms around the weather Yet who can say, Who bears the weight?
