Song language: English
A Smiling Shore |
| So he found his way |
| To the smiling shore |
| A year or two |
| From a strange war |
| The gentle lies |
| To dying eyes |
| A thousand miles of walking |
| Old man talking |
| Last night I heard him shouting in his sleep |
| He doesn’t eat |
| Someday in November |
| Every night for forty years |
| My father still remembers |
| For this is his kingdom, his home |
| And his story will lost in the struggle |
| For thou and glory inside him |
| The final solution |
| To no one’s problem |
| Friends and lovers in stinking rows |
| Avoiding their eyes |
| Checking their numbers |
| Burning their clothes |
| Soul survivor |
| You wouldn’t even see him in a crowd |
| The family man waits in a cube to draw his pension |
| Facing memories of a life |
| He can’t bring himself to mention |
