Soldier - Francis Dunnery

In every story that you meet

Lies a happy ever after

You see it on the people that you greet

If you stop them for a while

Say what am I gonna do

If I’m leaving in a fight with you

And how am I gonna fight

You always bring me water

and I need your water by my side

Soldier, this is your life

And you cant run

And you cant hide

In the town

And out in the pouring rain

With an aching in your side

And my future is down memory lane

Cause the present is much to hard

Soldier, this is your life

(end chorus)

Across the sand dunes

In a room

There are soldiers on the phone

They’re calling all the people that they love

Cause they cant wait to come home

Say who are you gonna be

If you’re always waiting there for me

And when will I be free

You say you carried my daughter

And I need my daughter next to me

Soldier, this is your life

And you can’t run

And you cant hide

In the town

And out in the pouring rain

With an aching in your side

And my future is down memory lane

Cause the present is much to hard

Soldier, this is your life

(end chorus)

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Sitting round the fire at midnight

Calling all my family on my cell

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Hearing all the sounds across the world

Sitting in this final hell

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

And I wonder if I’ll ever get out of here

Only gods time will tell

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Say what am I gonna do

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Say what am I gonna do

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Say what am I gonna do

Sail home, get back in my home clothes

Soldier, this is your life.
