Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away)

(альбом: Cinema Paradiso - 2020)

There's a hero's tale of a ship that sails
Under distant stars somewhere far away
And she's bound for glory on a foreign shore
But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
Spring is in the air
With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again"

So the willows weep and the candles burn
For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn
As I tell your story with a thankful heart
You are always in our thoughts, though we're worlds apart

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
Spring is in the air
With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again"

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
And spring is in the air
With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again"

Home again
Home again
