Amazing. This song just destroyed me when he sang it that night. Fingers crossed that he releases this on iTunes soon.

I got some parts different, but I'm not sure, since I'm no native English speaker ;-)
children in the trenches again
so I got taken hard by the throw ('cause I think he was rather shot = iron punch, than choked)
flags flew full mast
Oh, I love this song!! It's one of my favourites.

Hopefully the lyrics are mostly right! This is one of my favorites of Bobby's songs. He paints such a clear picture and everytime I hear this song I feel the soldiers pain. It is a shame that this actually happens; soldiers and veterans are forgotten or overlooked. They should be honored!!

"Livin by the past-Livin by the mile
I took the same walk down-that I did as a child
The flags flew for miles-unaware of the fate
No one saw me walk out-of my very last parade
So thoughts turn into dust-so I headed for the mount
I strayed up the path-waited for the count(went to the cemetery to see fallen soldiers)
The rain hit the steel clad gates-and filled me up with cold
This pain that I have inside is more than two years old(repeat)"
-
"So their boats came on in(the enemys)-I tried to run away
So I got taken high by the throat(choked)-in the burnin light of day
Livin by the iron punch(he was beaten)-so broken and alone
I left my blood on the beach-for the tide to take me home
So my girl-she gave up-she had taken me for dead
She forgot all her promises-and everything she said
Livin in the darkest dream-I rose up in the cold(woke from a nightmare)
These scars that I wear outside -are more that two years old(repeat)
-
This is what it sounds like to me, Not sayin all the words are right!!
"I lost my british soul-pullin out the corpse
Sheltering in the trenches again-crying for remorse
I layed my arms(gun)down-walked away in a trance
Theres parts of me layed out-all over France
I took my last waltz-got caught up in the wire
Wrote a letter to my love-as I hid from the fire
An old soldier carried me-away to the coast
Bathed my wounds in the sea-I'm in the arms of a ghost(repeat)"
