Soldier's Song (2003 Remaster) - The Hollies
Written by：Mike Batt
The smoke was slowly rising
As the light began to fade
There were fires on the skyline
From some distant border raid
I was riding out at seventeen
To join my first brigade
Many years ago
And I chanced upon a farmhouse
Where the woman took me in
She gave me food and wine
She gave me shelter from the wind
She delayed me from my regiment
And service of my king
Many years ago
She said soldier
Before I lose you to the fight
Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
She took me over in the fading fireglow
On that wild and misty night she was my woman
When I rose next morning
I was gone before she stood
Tore myself away from there
And left without a word
The sound of distant infantry
Was the only thing I heard
On that morning
In that day I aged ten years
And died a thousand deaths
I learned the feel of frozen steel
And fear within my breast
But the lesson I'll remember
Till they lay me to my rest
Keeps returning
She said soldier before I lose you to the fight
Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
She took me over in the fading fireglow
On that wild and misty night she was my woman
And when the dice of war were thrown
And victory was won
My drunken young compatriots
Went out to have their fun
And there was no single house
They didn't burn or overrun on that evening
And I rode out to that place again
As hard as I could ride
But I found her by the cradle
On that lonely mountainside
In the hands of those brave friends of mine
She suffered and she died
Many years ago
Soldier before I lose you to the fight
She said soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
She took me over in the fading fireglow
On that wild and misty night she was my woman
