[00:00:00] Soldier's Song (2003 Remastered Version) - The Hollies

[00:00:00] Written by：Mike Batt

[00:00:06] The smoke was slowly rising

[00:00:08] As the light began to fade

[00:00:11] There were fires on the skyline

[00:00:13] From some distant border raid

[00:00:16] I was riding out at seventeen

[00:00:19] To join my first brigade

[00:00:22] Many years ago

[00:00:27] And I chanced upon a farmhouse

[00:00:30] Where the woman took me in

[00:00:33] She gave me food and wine

[00:00:35] She gave me shelter from the wind

[00:00:38] She delayed me from my regiment

[00:00:41] And service of my king

[00:00:44] Many years ago

[00:00:49] She said soldier

[00:00:52] Before I lose you to the fight

[00:00:55] Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:01:00] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:01:06] On that wild and misty night she was my woman

[00:01:17] When I rose next morning

[00:01:19] I was gone before she stood

[00:01:23] Tore myself away from there

[00:01:25] And left without a word

[00:01:28] The sound of distant infantry

[00:01:31] Was the only thing I heard

[00:01:33] On that morning

[00:01:39] In that day I aged ten years

[00:01:42] And died a thousand deaths

[00:01:44] I learned the feel of frozen steel

[00:01:47] And fear within my breast

[00:01:50] But the lesson I'll remember

[00:01:52] Till they lay me to my rest

[00:01:55] Keeps returning

[00:02:01] She said soldier before I lose you to the fight

[00:02:06] Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:02:11] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:02:17] On that wild and misty night she was my woman

[00:02:47] And when the dice of war were thrown

[00:02:50] And victory was won

[00:02:53] My drunken young compatriots

[00:02:55] Went out to have their fun

[00:02:58] And there was no single house

[00:03:00] They didn't burn or overrun on that evening

[00:03:09] And I rode out to that place again

[00:03:12] As hard as I could ride

[00:03:15] But I found her by the cradle

[00:03:17] On that lonely mountainside

[00:03:20] In the hands of those brave friends of mine

[00:03:23] She suffered and she died

[00:03:25] Many years ago

[00:03:32] Soldier before I lose you to the fight

[00:03:36] She said soldier I'll make a man of you tonight

[00:03:42] She took me over in the fading fireglow

[00:03:47] On that wild and misty night she was my woman
