Is it this one?

PIPER TO THE END
Mark Knopfler

When I leave this world behind me
To another I will go
If there are no pipes in heaven
I'll be going down below
If friends in time be severed
Someday we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end

This has been a day to die for
Now the day has almost gone
Up above a choir of seabirds
Turns to face the setting sun
Now the evening dawn is calling
And all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling
Clouds are lined with golden thread

We watched the fires together
Shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together
Came so many miles

This has been a day to die on
Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Silent will the battle drum
If friends in time be severed
Someday here we will meet again
I return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end

I'm surprised and happy to be right about something! Your description of the song made my brain itch, because I KNEW I'd heard a song like that. Finally, I remembered where.

I remember (?) he wrote it for a friend, but I'm not sure where my CD is at the moment.
