| [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 |
