THE MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY

THE MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY      BY TIM WILLIAMS JAN. 2014

SHE PROMISED TO WRITE EVERYDAY
TO HER MAN WHO MARCHED AWAY
ON HER KNEES TO KNEEL AND PRAY
FOR HER MAN WHO MARCHED AWAY

MOTHERS ASKED THEM PLEASE TO STAY
BUT THEIR BOYS THEY MARCHED AWAY
FATHERS OH SO PROUD TO SAY 
THAT THEIR SONS HAD MARCHED AWAY

LOVERS DREAMED THEIR NIGHTS AWAY
OF MEN WHO'D MARCHED AWAY
THEIR CHILDREN MADE UP GAMES TO PLAY
LIKE THE MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY

MARCHING TO A FATAL DAY
THE SOLDIERS MARCHED AWAY
SO MANY WOUNDS, SO MANY SLAYEN
THE MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY

AT CENETAPHES WE STAND AND PRAY
FOR THE MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY
NEVER TO FORGET THE BRAVE
YOUNG MEN WHO MARCHED AWAY

THEY MARCHED AWAY, OH THEY MARCHED AWAY
LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT , RIGHT
OUR BOYS THEY MARCHED AWAY
THEY MARCHED AWAY THEY MARCHED AWAY
OUR MEN THEY MARCHED AWAY
