Re: Remembrance Day

["labehotierre" <labehotierre@wanadoo.fr>]

--For our king and our country, and the promise of glory 
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front lines 
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities 
Not meant to be soldiers, we lay in the trenches 
We'd face the fighting with a smile ... or so we said 
If only we had known what danger lay ahead 

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle 
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin' 
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long 
If I can just hold on `til the bloody war is over 


The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day 
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance Day 


By October of `18 Cambrai had fallen 
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returning 
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away 
Well, it won't be long `til I'm back there in your arms again 


The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day 
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance Day 


One day soon I don't know when 
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again 
The time will come for you and me 
We'll be going home when this bloody war has ended 


The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day 
We'll all say a prayer - on Remembrance Day 


... on Remembrance Day ... 
... say a little prayer ... 
... on Remembrance Day ... 


Well, the guns will be silent 
There'll be no more fighting 
We'll lay down our weapons 
On Remembrance Day 


... on Remembrance Day ...
