Male singer: The heather is dark and rainy And I have lost my path There is no light, no hope, no time In that cruelness of the dark Oh God why I can’t find you? Why can’t you here my words? Can you see me fighting in this fields, for causes I don’t know?
Female singer: Oh my gallant love where have you gone? I miss your gentle touch. Our children grow fine and strong They’re missing you so much If the harvest rain falls on our home , the days grow fairly long. But the horizon stays without you from dusk until dawn
Male singer: Oh dear last night I lost a friend He went into the fire perhaps he’ll reaches a better place Perhaps we’ll meet again. I wonder how the children are I miss their softly smiles Sometimes I dream of the harvest rain But the battle still goes on.
Female Singer: Yesterday I saw a picture of the minister of war in his lily white shirt and tie he asked for moe young blood by law and they got our oldest son and he went your way and the minister in the news did say for freedom there’s a price to pay
Male & Female sing: And the autumn has come and the wind is waving the corn as she got a machine letter “For our freedom they did fall” And she asks herself "What freedom takes a mother’s son?' So we lose the best and hail the rest and the harvest rain does fall
