Randy Newman - Song For The Dead Lyrics
Deep in the fieldA lone soldier standsWith mud on his bootAnd blood on his handsThey left him behindTo bury the deadAnd to say a few words on behalf of the leadershipPardon me, boysIf I sleep off my packAnd sit for a while with youId like to explainWhy you fine young men had to be blown apartTo defend this mud holeNow our country, boysThough its quite far awayFound itself jeopardizedEndangered, boysBy these very gooksWho lie here beside youForever nearForeverWed like to expressOur deep admirationFor your courage under fireAnd your willingness to dieFor your country, boysWe wont forgetWe wont forget
