《The Linden Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] The Linden Tree - The New London Chorale

[00:00:00] Upon a distant hillside

[00:00:06] There stands a linden tree

[00:00:12] As children we would play there

[00:00:19] My friends and you and me

[00:00:25] We thought that it would never end

[00:00:32] For children never see

[00:00:37] We thought that we would always play

[00:00:44] Around the linden tree around the linden tree

[00:01:00] One day your eyes were misty

[00:01:06] As eyes can sometimes be

[00:01:12] You told me that you loved me

[00:01:19] Beside the linden tree

[00:01:25] I thought you'd always be around

[00:01:32] For lovers never see

[00:01:38] I thought our children soon would play

[00:01:44] Around the linden tree around the linden tree

[00:02:00] But then the trumpet sounded

[00:02:06] And love was not to be

[00:02:12] The call to death or glory

[00:02:19] Took you away from me

[00:02:25] You thought that you would never die

[00:02:32] For soldiers never see

[00:02:38] But we will never meet again

[00:02:44] Beneath the linden tree beneath the linden tree

[00:02:57] And now I lay my flowers

[00:03:03] Beside the linden tree
