Ode aan Liesbeth Zegveld | Speaking Field Blues

Goeree is the place she wandered,

round the mudflats and the drizzling skies.

Hope and longing is the Westside story,

“Jets are gonna have their way tonight”. 

Pax looking for a lawyer yonder,

cause the law had no stake in there.

A  younger brother has no pass to show them, 

they passed him over to the wolves, with dad.

 When the Field speaks the hatches gonna close down,

And  she just won’t let it happen now.

What would happen to men seperated,

Deportation was so close at hand.

If we only save just one, for intent

What where we doing I don’t understand

Dutchbat commander crossing names of sheets now,

Deprived people of their last resort

History will not be kind here,

guess he’ll have his day in court.

When the Field speaks the hatches gonna close down,

And  she just won’t let it happen now.

Where there’s people there will be sorrow

It’s in our nature, that will never pass.

Some of us are lonely riders,

navigating a sacred compass

When the Field speaks the hatches gonna close down,

And  she just won’t let it happen now.
