Boy Soldier Songtext
von Nick Garrie

He left the place without a backward glance
Called up to do a soldier job at last
A youth in trouble dealt to know the chance
To make amends for all his past

Oh, young man figthing on distant shores
You won′t be coming back home no more

He left his small time village and he past his house
His sisters waving at the door
But he ignored them and he lit his cigarette
This young man was headed after war

Oh, young man figthing on distant shores
You won't be coming back home no more


Then over seas, he knew he soon be dead
And he thought about his village every night
The school bell, and the pub, and the smell of baking bread
The soldier drifted on the night

Oh, young man figthing on distant shores
You won′t be coming back home no more

In dreams he flew through deafening fiery skies
To see again his home and his mother's eyes
A wrong decision that he wouldn't take no more
As he laid down with ten on the distant shore

Oh, young man figthing on distant shores
You won′t be coming back home no more
Back home no more
