Soldier's Song

The smoke was slowly rising
As the light began to fade
There were fires on the skylight
From some distant border raid
I was riding out at seventeen
To join my first brigade
Many years ago

And I chanced upon a farmhouse
Where the woman took me in
She gave me food and wine
She gave me shelter from the wind
She delayed me from my regiment
And service of my king
Many years ago

[Chorus]
She said Soldier
Before I lose you to the fight
Oh my soldier
I’ll make a man of you tonight
She took me over
In the fading fire glow
On that wild and misty night
She was my woman

When I rose next morning
I was gone before she stirred
Torn myself away from there
And left without a word
Sound of distant infantry
Was the only thing I heard
On that morning
[ Lyrics accessible from http://www.rare-lyrics.com ]

And in that day I aged 10 years
And died a thousand deaths
I learned the feel of frozen steel
And fear within my breast
And the lesson I remember
Till they lay me to my rest
Keeps returning

[Chorus]
She said Soldier
Before I lose you to the fight
Oh my soldier
I’ll make a man of you tonight
She took me over
In the fading fire glow
And on that wild and misty night
She was my woman

And when the dice of war was flung
And victory was won
My drunken young compatriots
Went out to have their fun
And there was no single house
They did not burn or over run
On that evening

And I rode out to that place again
As hard as I could ride
But I found her by the trail
Along the lonely mountain side
In the hands of those brave friends of mine
She’d suffered and she’d died
Many years ago

[Chorus]
Soldier
Before I lose you to the fight
She said Soldier
I’ll make a man of you tonight
She took me over
In the fading fire glow
On that wild and misty night
She was my woman
