|
Watch your daughter's children play |
|
Thirty years ago today |
|
Memories of your last young summer |
|
Never seemed so far away |
|
Smiling at the gathering storm |
|
In the khaki uniform |
|
When you marched along the high street |
|
Did you listen to your heart beat? |
|
Did you find what you were looking for |
|
In the somewhere over there |
|
Was the answer found on the battleground |
|
Was the question really fair |
|
Tell me are the crosses that stand |
|
Planted by a gardener's hand |
|
Tended only by the weather |
|
Somewhere in the no man's land |
|
And does my love of life betray |
|
His immortal memory |
|
Poppies on a dusty high street |
|
Echoes of the lasting heart beat |
