(Bell/Clarke)
|
|
slow the years go by
|
they stole your man off to war
|
will you see the child
|
as you sing battle songs
|
and it pains me
|
to think of the soldier's plight
|
i will pray
|
for your heart to guide you home
|
|
and she cries for the soldier's return
|
despair of feeling alone for so long
|
by the light of the candle that burns
|
for his life
|
for the day of the soldier's return
|
|
hear the cannon fire
|
lost voices echo in the night
|
see the spoils of war
|
young men are falling, ooh
|
hear the drummer marching o'er the hill
|
love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
|
|
and she cries...(chorus)
|
|
hear the drummer marching o'er the hill
|
love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
|
|
and she cries...(chorus)
|
|
young men are falling, young men are falling...
