So Many Soldiers

(álbum: Golden Greats - 1999)

Woke up so fresh this morning, love to wake up to your heat
Smiles at traffic lights, I'm so selective with the company I keep
Some never gonna see the evening picking one too many fights
Hear a new born baby getting stronger through the freezing winter nights
Some never get to see the morning, claiming darkness feeds their needs
Some are breathing underwater on a river in the reeds

Only so many soldiers come home
Only so many soldiers, so many soldiers come home

Woke up so fresh this morning, love to wake up to your heat
Smiles at traffic lights, I'm so selective with the company I keep

So many soldiers come home
So many soldiers, so many soldiers come home

This road you walk, this path you tread
Sweet I shall see and heaven fed
These avenues and bridges far
These narrow streets and these backyards in it

Only so many soldiers come home
So many soldiers, so many soldiers come home
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers
Come home, come home
