| For our king and our country and the promise of glory
|
| We came from kingston and brighton to fight on the front line
|
| Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
|
| Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches
|
| Wed face the fighting with a smile — or so we said
|
| If only we had known what danger lay ahead
|
| The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
|
| On the fields of europe young men were fallin
|
| Ill be back for you someday — it wont be long
|
| If I can just hold on til this bloody war is over
|
| The guns will be silent on remembrance day
|
| Therell be no more fighting on remembrance day
|
| By october of 18 cambrai had fallen
|
| Soon the war would be over and wed be returnin
|
| Dont forget me while Im gone far away
|
| Well it wont be long till Im back there in your arms again
|
| One day soon — I dont know when
|
| You know well all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
|
| The time will come for you and me Well be goin home when this bloody war is ended
|
| The guns will be silent on remembrance day
|
| Well all say a prayer on remembrance day
|
| On remembrance day — say a little prayer
|
| On remembrance day
|
| Well the guns will be silent
|
| Therell be no more fighting
|
| Oh well lay down our weapons
|
| On remembrance day |
