Songtext Lonely soldier Damien Rice

Lonely soldier

Lonely soldier go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes see nothin' to shoot
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots

Ask your father how do you fall
Ask your father how do you fall
Like a leaf sittin' on the ground
Good for nothin' except kickin' around

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening

So may your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
And may you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes someone just wants to die

Where'd you get those cuts in your hand?
I thought I told you about playin' in the sand
There's always someone careless with glass
There's always questions you don't want to ask

She died with her hands stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening

May your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
And may you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes someone just wants to die

So lonely soldier go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes see nothin' to shoot
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots
