Tin Soldier

(album: Better Days Comin' - 2014)

It's all the same, and then suddenly
You see the frame, but turn away
Faces in time, that's when I was your hero

Wrap my soul in cellophane
Drown my secrets in the rain
Johnny comes marching home again
Hey tin soldier, the war ain't over
Bang bang bang beat the drums of war
Don't know the name don't know the tin soldier

Times up, coming down
Silver stars watch 'em tumbling down
We all fall down

Cold war running through my veins
Don't know the name don't know the face of
The tin soldier
Yeah! Yeah! yeah!

Come hide inside, come in under
Do you hear the guns, do you hear the drums

Wrap my soul in cellophane
Purple heart hanging on a chain
Only the battleground has changed
Hey tin soldier, the war ain't over
Johnny comes marching home again
Don't know the name don't know the face of
The tin soldier
