Текст пісні
You see the old soldiers walkin' down the street
Lookin' for the fights they used to fight
This old soldier, he remembers little things
When he wrecked the life of one young girl
But now he's lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
He is so lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
The old soldier's legs are stiff with age
They march to remember what they originally marched for
Look at that old soldier, he's a thousand miles away
Rememberin' when he was twenty-four
But now he's lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
He is so lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
The silence of soldiers from a long forgotten war
The memories keep alive what they were fightin' for
This old soldier, he just had to kill and maim
So to keep his country's name safe and free
But now he's lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
He is so lonely, he's just a soldier without a war
Governments rise and governments fall
But all governments need someone to protect their shores
The soldier joins the service to fight for his ideas
He gets to fight the wars for his lonely memories
But now he's lonely, he's a vision of a soldier without a war
He can't think of anyone else except the soldier without a war
The soldier without a war
The soldier without a war
