Mark Avison - Solway Moss Lyrics

This night with yours so many souls
The waters deep they drownded
Away, away, the cries I hear
A swirling grave surrounded

I'll hold your head until you're gone
Until your blood has left you
I'll wait beneath the glowering sky
And watch your soul pass into

And the wind blows wild across
And the Galloway ponies they know their way back through the moss
There'll be no more lost there'll be no greater cost in the fight
When we bring back the cattle and horses they stole in the night

And the horn sounds through the air
And the ice in our hair joins the dark with the smell of despair
Tomorrow we ride to revenge those that died for the cause
So our women and children can live without fear of the sword

Hear the silence fall
Around the tower walls

Will there be blood spilt
And does the child cry
Can there be justice
If all of us die

This night with yours so many souls
The waters deep they drownded
Away, away, the cries I hear
A swirling grave surrounded
