Where Silent Shadows Fall - Strawbs

作词：佚名

作曲：佚名

The valiant soldier smiles

The lady lowers her eye

The battle has been won

With no sense of surprise

She questions not at all

The valiant soldier's prize

The valiant soldier's prize

For all of those who fail to hear

the silent hero's call

We honour those who face

themselves where silent shadows fall

The valiant soldier hears

From far and distant lands

The piper's sad lament

He feels his mother's hands

When all are in retreat

The valiant soldier stands

The valiant soldier stands

For all of those who fail to hear

the silent hero's call

We honour those who face themselves

where silent shadows fall

The valiant soldier calls

The public purse denies

He sadly shakes his head

Weary of the lies

Who never knows his child

The valiant soldier dies

The valiant soldier dies

For all of those who fail to hear

the silent hero's call

We honour those who face themselves

where silent shadows fall
