" CWTCH " ( WELSH FOR CUDDLE )
CWTCH ME UP DAI I'M GOING TO DIE
CHRIST I DID'NT KNOW HORSES COULD FLY
TAKE THIS....
WIPE THE BLOOD FROM YOUR EYES
CWTCH ME UP DAI I'M GOING TO DIE
IT WAS A COLD FROSTY MORNING IN FRANCE
THE SARGENT MAJOR CALLED THE ADVANCE
WE WERE OUT OF THE TRENCH IN A TRANCE
ADVANCE BOY'S, ADVANCE BOY'S ADVANCE
IT WAS 1915 STOOD IN THE MUD
HURTLING SHELLS HIT THUD THUD THUD
WE FAUGHT THEM WHEREVER WE COULD
WE DIED IN THE FIELDS AND THE WOODS
A BOY FROM THE PITS
IS WHAT I USED TO BE
NOT A SOLDIER...A KILLER..NO FEAR TO FEEL
SO CWTCH ME UP DAI IT'S THE END I CAN SEE
CWTCH ME UP DAI IT'S THE END NOW FOR ME

A wonderful write Tim, loved the use of the welsh word cwtch as your title and incorporated into the piece. Truly moving, with great sentiment, it felt real! I got tingles in the last stanza!! A nomination imo and a big vote :)
