ERASURE LYRICS - The Soldiers Return

"The Soldiers Return"



Slow the years go by

They stole your man off to war

Will you see the child

As you sing battle song

And it pains me

To think of the soldiers plight

I will pray

For your God to guide you home



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

And the graves of the battle are still



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 drummer

Marching over the hill

Love returning

And the graves of the battle are still



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



(Young men are falling)
