So Many Soldiers

Ian Brown

Woke up so fresh this morning

Love to wake up to your heat

Smiles at traffic lights

I'm so selective with the company I keep

Some never gonna see the evening

Picking one too many fights

Hear a new born baby getting stronger

Through the freezing winter nights

Some never get to see the morning

Claiming darkness feeds their needs

Some are breathing underwater

On a river in the reeds

But only so many soldiers come home

Only so many soldiers come home

Woke up so fresh this morning

Love to wake up to your heart

Smiles at traffic lights

I'm so selective with the company I keep

Only so many soldiers come home

So many soldiers

So many soldiers come home

This road you walk

This path you tread

Sweet I shall see

And heaven fed

These avenues

And bridges far

These narrow streets and these backyards

Only so many soldiers

Only so many soldiers come home

So many soldiers

So many soldiers com home

Soldiers

Soldiers come home

Soldiers come home

Come home
