Erasure Soldiers Return Lyrics

Slow the years go by

They stole your man off to war

Will you see the child

As you sing a better song

And it pains me

To think the soldiers

I will pray

For you've gone to guide you home

chorus:

And she cried for the soldiers return

Despair of feeling alone for so long

By the light of a candle that burns

For his life for the day of the soldiers return Hear the cannons fire

Lost voices echo in the night

See the spoils of war

Young men are falling, ooh

Hear the drummer

Marching over the hill

Love returning

The graves of the battle lies still

chorus

Hear the drummer

Marching over the hill

Love returning

And the graves of the battle lies still

chorus
