《Soldier’s Song》歌词

[00:00:05] The smoke was slowly rising as the light began to fade

[00:00:10] There were fires on the skyline from some distant border raid

[00:00:15] I was riding out at seventeen to join my first brigade

[00:00:21] Many years ago

[00:00:26] And I chanced upon a farmhouse where the woman took me in

[00:00:32] She gave me food and wine she gave me shelter from the wind

[00:00:37] She delayed me from my regiment and service of my king

[00:00:43] Many years ago

[00:00:48] She said soldier before I lose you to the fight

[00:00:54] Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:00:59] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:01:05] On that wild and misty night she was my woman

[00:01:16] When I rose next morning I was gone before she stood

[00:01:22] Tore myself away from there and left without a word

[00:01:27] The sound of distant infantry was the only sound I heard

[00:01:32] On that morning

[00:01:38] And in that day I aged ten years and died a thousand deaths

[00:01:44] I learned the feel of frozen steel and fear within my breast

[00:01:49] But the lesson I'll remember till they lay me to my rest

[00:01:54] Keeps returning

[00:02:00] She said soldier before I lose you to the fight

[00:02:05] Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:02:10] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:02:16] On that wild and misty night she was my woman

[00:02:47] And when the dice of war were thrown and victory was won

[00:02:52] My drunken young compatriots went out to have their fun

[00:02:57] And there was no single house

[00:02:59] They didn't burn or overrun on that evening

[00:03:08] And I rode out to that place again as hard as I could ride

[00:03:14] But I found her by the cradle on that lonely mountainside

[00:03:19] In the hands of those brave friends of mine

[00:03:22] She suffered and she died

[00:03:24] Many years ago

[00:03:31] Soldier before I lose you to the fight

[00:03:35] She said soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:03:41] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:03:46] On that wild and misty night she was my woman
