paroles de chanson Forgotten Soldier - John Edmond

Right now I feel like a forgotten soldier,
I've been eight hours on the road.
Doesn't anybody see me standing here,
in my soldier's coat?
And rain ain't kindly to a weary man
and passing cars look snug and warm.
There ain't no comforts for a forgotten soldier
standing in the storm.

Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter one more time
to reassure me that our love has stood the test.
Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is,
and I cherish them and hold them to my breast.

Deep down I know that I'm no forgotten soldier,
though you're a million stars away
Soon friendly headlights will be shining down
and slowing down for me.
And there will be a place to close my eyes
and almost feel the kiss
From lips that tell me I'm no forgotten soldier
somewhere in the mist.

Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter
one more time
to reassure me that our love has stood the test.
Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is,
and I cherish them and hold them to my breast.

So when I feel like a forgotten soldier
and when the night is extra long,
That crumpled letter is my inspiration,
the words just push me on.
They wash my blues away with memories
that we will soon renew
And then I won't be a forgotten soldier
when I am home with you.
And then I won't be a forgotten soldier
when I am home with you.
No, I won't be a forgotten soldier
when I am home with you.
