Marchers Lyrics

When we came to the crossing, she said

How would you describe that flag?

I pointed to the foothills and I said

Black and on fire and mostly rag

We rode the long way past the lines of men

And places they were coming from

We rode the long way past the lives of men

And places they were speeding to

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

When we came out at the valley

The flag was far away

And looked like brushfire

See how it catches the trees, I said

And some men

Also wearing our attire

We rode the long way past the lines of men

And places they were coming from

We rode the long way past the lives of men

And places they were going to

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

We slowed the horses

And heard screams in the valley

Some of them were happy

They don't know what's coming

She said

All of them should hurry

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

We rode the long way past the lines of men

Where some were resting awhile

We rode the long way past the lines of men

Where some were laid in a defile

And the flag under her saddle

Sat warm and flat all night

And held its tiny breath

Until it came out for the fight

To the flag!

To the flag!

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?

Hey, where have you been?

And you?
