Soldier Song

Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger to me

You talk without a reason
And you think without a pause
And you speak with all your fingers
Sharing little bits of wisdom
That see you through the day
And I try and try, to make you stay

One more kiss before the war
Remember me, soldier

Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger to me

You send another letter
From the bowels of the brigade
And you ask my favourite colour
Say that hell has frozen over
And you need a little cheer
'Cause your dying day is drawing near

One more word before the war
Remember me, soldier
Mm, mm, mm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger to me
Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger to me

Your medal's getting dusty
In a shoebox let it lie
And your uniform is faded
It's been years since you wore it
And much to my dismay
You still cry at night, don't make me stay

One more dream about the war
Remember me, soldier
Mm, mm, mm

Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger to me
Another day goes by and I find
That you are a stranger
To me
