lirik lagu tom jans - distant cannon fire
distant cannon fire
in the hills above our town
me and ramone got so scared
we hit the ground
of the twenty men in my sweet short life
all but five have felt the pain
of franco’s knife
so the wind blows
through the barcelona plain
when they burned my poems and touched her skins
i went insane
and i told ramona again and again
and again and again and again and again
why in the world did they bring me here
so near to the fire
the sins of the fathers have gone
but still they call me a liar
and a child of darkness may never gonna get much higher
than distant cannon fire
they are closer now
to the village gates
but the trains are full and the pass is blocked
so we’ll have to wait
but a friend of mine
from across the sea
speaks of a place where a man can live
and still be free
where no palace guard
through a moonless night
can turn my candle to the ground
and run from sight
turn my candle to the ground, and they run
yes, they run, yes, they run, yes, they run
why in the world did they bring me here
so near to the fire
the sins of the fathers have gone
but still they call me a liar
and a child of darkness may never gonna get much higher
than distant cannon fire
i remember all my life
running to the well
but that was when the springs were full
so only time will tell
just how long we can last
ramone said, “please behave”
but i can tell you one d~mn thing
i’ll never, no, i’ll never be a slave
why in the world did they bring me here
so near to the fire
the sins of the fathers have gone
but still they just call me such a liar
and a child of darkness never gonna get much higher
than distant cannon fire
