Soldiers Lyrics

Soldiers lyrics

It was just after sunrise

 And down by the sea

 Down on the sand flats

 Where nothing will grow

 Come drumming and footsteps

 Like out of a dream

 Where the golden green waters come in

 

 Just nine lucky soldiers had come

 Through the night

 Half of them wounded

 And barely alive

 Just nine out of twenty was headed for home

 With eleven sad stories to tell

 

 I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed

 I said, oh, good morning what a beautiful day
