Phil Ochs - The Sad and Silent Song of a Soldier слова песни




GAnd the flag draped coffins are a sailin` home Am D7And the waves are watching as the engine drones Bm G C AmAs the ship draws near, hear the bugle moan G Em Am D7 GThe sad and silent song of a soldierWith a hero`s greeting we will welcome him,With hero`s speeches we will honor him,With a hero`s ending we will bury him,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.And comfort his family with a telegram,We regret to inform you we have lost a man,But we gave him the highest medal of the land,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.We know what an awful price he had to pay,But the enemy was contained for another day,We trained him well, but he would have wanted it that way,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.Oh, the weary wounded they wait by his side,Wondering why they hadn`t also died,the picture of victory on its pride,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.And the flag is at half mast wet with foreign rain,Ignored by the stranger he had helped to train,To him it was his duty to them again,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.At Arlington he`s lowered down without a pause,And his native land welcomes him with open jaws,And the tombstone reads such a noble cause,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.Now a moment of silence for the broken man,While the president proudly crows "we`ll never bend",And cheers their replacements marching off again,That`s the sad and silent song of a soldier.And the flag draped coffins are a sailin` home,And the waves are a watchin` as the engines drone,As the ship draws near, hear the bugle moanThe sad and silent song of a soldier.
