[00:15.45] |
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind |
[00:20.37] |
breathes a whisper through the trees |
[00:24.11] |
|
[00:26.25] |
As i lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see |
[00:34.65] |
|
[00:36.64] |
The ghostly forms of blue and gray |
[00:41.52] |
And I can almost hear the cannons blast |
[00:46.57] |
|
[00:48.31] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[00:53.42] |
|
[00:55.79] |
The first few waves came cheerin' |
[00:58.35] |
|
[00:59.42] |
Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood |
[01:03.34] |
|
[01:06.71] |
When the day was finally over |
[01:09.27] |
|
[01:10.15] |
Those left wadin' through a crimson flood |
[01:14.08] |
|
[01:16.88] |
To think I could be right here |
[01:20.32] |
|
[01:21.44] |
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last |
[01:26.75] |
|
[01:28.81] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[01:33.60] |
|
[01:36.86] |
Brother fightin' brother |
[01:38.53] |
|
[01:39.61] |
Father fightin' son |
[01:41.54] |
|
[01:43.41] |
By the time the sun was settin' |
[01:46.16] |
|
[01:46.96] |
Looked like the South had won |
[01:49.71] |
|
[01:50.96] |
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton |
[01:53.39] |
|
[01:54.33] |
And my heart is beatin' fast |
[01:58.06] |
|
[02:00.37] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[02:05.73] |
|
[02:14.54] |
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' and they woke |
[02:19.88] |
To hear a Yankee bugle blow |
[02:23.51] |
|
[02:25.50] |
Bullets flew like angry hornets |
[02:28.93] |
|
[02:29.87] |
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow |
[02:34.27] |
|
[02:37.89] |
It must have been like hell on earth |
[02:40.95] |
What happened here is more than we can grasp |
[02:46.31] |
|
[02:48.25] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[02:53.24] |
|
[02:56.42] |
Brother fightin' brother |
[02:58.37] |
|
[02:59.94] |
Father fightin' son |
[03:02.12] |
|
[03:02.93] |
By the time the smoke had lifted |
[03:06.24] |
They knew the North had won |
[03:09.23] |
|
[03:10.54] |
Lord my soul feels empty |
[03:13.16] |
|
[03:13.92] |
As my tears fall on this grass |
[03:19.85] |
|
[03:20.47] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[03:24.64] |
|
[03:28.09] |
Brother killin' brother |
[03:30.02] |
|
[03:30.64] |
Father slayin' son |
[03:34.01] |
|
[03:34.76] |
From the looks of this old graveyard |
[03:36.93] |
|
[03:38.28] |
Hell nobody really won |
[03:40.65] |
|
[03:42.14] |
Somethin's changed inside me |
[03:45.95] |
It sure can happen fast |
[03:49.38] |
|
[03:51.57] |
Standin' in the prescence of the past |
[03:56.08] |
|
[03:59.26] |
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind |
[04:04.25] |
Breathes a whisper through the trees |
