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

Written by：Mike Batt[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Many years ago[00:00:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Many years ago[00:00:44]

She said soldier[00:00:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On that morning[00:01:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keeps returning[00:01:55]

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

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

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

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

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

And victory was won[00:02:50]

My drunken young compatriots[00:02:53]

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

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

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

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

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

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

On that lonely mountainside[00:03:17]

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

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

Many years ago[00:03:25]

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

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

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

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