Another soldier crossed the line
Never saw that hidden mine
A flash of light – expression grim
Body torn – limb from limb..
A dream serene – the passing of a life
Leaves another grieving wife..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
Those nights you spent – in early spring
The shells that made your tender ears ring..
Sitting by the campfire light
Thoughts lost in the night
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon.
It's a job – he used to say
Just a way to earn his pay
Never thought – he'd die like this -
no mothers arms – no girlfriends kiss..
