Remembrance DayFor our King and our country and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front lineJust lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenchesWe'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay aheadThe sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is overThe guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting
On Remembrance DayBy September of '18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Well it won't be long 'til I'm back there in your arms againOne day soon - I don't know when
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring againThe time will come for you and me
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is endedThe guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day
We'll all say a prayer
On Remembrance DayOn Remembrance Day - say a little prayer
On Remembrance DayWell the guns will be silent
There'll be no more fighting
Oh we'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day
