It was just after sunrise
and down by the sea,
down on the sand flats
where nothing will grow,
come drumming and footsteps
like out of a dream
where the golden green waters come in.
just nine lucky soldiers
had come through the night,
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net |]
half of them wounded
and barely alive.
just nine out of twenty
was headed for home
with eleven sad stories to tell.
I remember quite clearly
when i got out of bed,
i said, oh, good morning
what a beautiful day.
and down by the sea,
down on the sand flats
where nothing will grow,
come drumming and footsteps
like out of a dream
where the golden green waters come in.
just nine lucky soldiers
had come through the night,
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net |]
half of them wounded
and barely alive.
just nine out of twenty
was headed for home
with eleven sad stories to tell.
I remember quite clearly
when i got out of bed,
i said, oh, good morning
what a beautiful day.
