Текст песни Where Silent Shadows Fall - Strawbs

Cousins

The valiant soldier smiles
The lady lowers her eye
The battle has been won
With no sense of surprise
She questions not at all
The valiant soldier's prize
The valiant soldier's prize.

For all of those who fail to hear the silent hero's call
We honour those who face themselves where silent shadows fall.

The valiant soldier hears
From far and distant lands
The piper's sad lament
He feels his mother's hands
When all are in retreat
The valiant soldier stands
The valiant soldier stands.

For all of those who fail to hear the silent hero's call
We honour those who face themselves where silent shadows fall.

The valiant soldier calls
The public purse denies
He sadly shakes his head
Weary of the lies
Who never knows his child
The valiant soldier dies
The valiant soldier dies.

For all of those who fail to hear the silent hero's call
We honour those who face themselves where silent shadows fall.
