Old Soldier
by Annie Herring

Album: Search Deep Inside

Here they come
One by one
Soldiers of the war

With no parade
And with no cheers that fade
Away into the blue
What did we do

Old soldier, old soldier
Forgive my empty words
Old soldier, old soldier
I'm afraid to look into your eyes
I'm afraid I will see my lies

Gone are the days
Where we would stand in praise
And let you pass on through

You fought the fight
And yet you lost the right
To be held high in our eyes
What did we do

Old soldier, old soldier
Forgive my empty words
Old soldier, old soldier
I'm afraid to look into your eyes
I'm afraid I will see my lies

Here they come
One by one
