Lay Me Down
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
Come listen to the stories and the pain they tell of war
From our soldiers who believe in what they were fighting for
Gone but not forgotten, lost but never gone
As long as we remember, their sacrifice lives on
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
From the open fields of Flanders to the shores of Normandy
From the burning sands of Egypt to the coast of Sicily
The blood spilt and the tears cried were never shed in vain
And always should remind us of a debt we can't repay
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
Come listen to the stories and the pain they tell of war
From our soldiers who believe in what they were fighting for
Gone but not forgotten, lost but never gone
As long as we remember, their sacrifice lives on
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
From the open fields of Flanders to the shores of Normandy
From the burning sands of Egypt to the coast of Sicily
The blood spilt and the tears cried were never shed in vain
And always should remind us of a debt we can't repay
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
Lay me down in fields of poppies
While the bugles sing their song
Lay me down beside my comrades
While the bagpipes linger on
And when my battles' over
Come reminisce with me
So our children will remember
How we fought for liberty
