25 Dec 08 - 06:47 PM (#2524653) Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS SOLDIER (Stan Graham) From: bfdk I sat typing up the lyrics for this song today. Guess it would be appropriate to post them here: CHRISTMAS SOLDIER (Stan Graham) Pack your bags me Johnny lad your easy days are over It's time that you were on your way to be a Christmas soldier Leave behind the mistletoe, goodwill to all men Kiss the children as you go off to war again Orders from on high decree you must be on your way For years you've done your duty, that's how you earned your pay Save the children from starving, stop the civil war Die for peace till orders cease and you'll come home once more Cho: And your loved ones will be missing you until the war is over Their tears will flow, but you won't know as winter nights grow colder A photograph while we're apart, a rifle on your shoulder That is the price that you must pay to be a Christmas soldier There are no words of comfort to help you on your way Just presents left for children as we wipe their tears away As you set sail or fly away to serve across the sea Stand tall and do your duty by those who would be free For somewhere in Afghanistan or fighting in Iraq Are fathers, sons and daughters, some might not be coming back And on a Christmas morning in a desert far away I hope your star shines brightly on a soldier's Christmas day Cho: And your loved ones will be missing you until the war is over Their tears will flow, but you won't know as winter nights grow colder A photograph while we're apart, a rifle on your shoulder That is the price that you must pay to be a Christmas soldier Well, you pay the price, and you don't think twice When you're a Christmas soldier Sound clip here B |
