Strawbs - The Weary Song lyrics

rate me

The soldier smiling softly sings a song of sad farewell<br />

As the train pulls out to take him far from home<br />

His children waving gaily without knowing he has gone<br />

Now you know what I feel.<br />

<br />

And the thoughts that always greet you<br />

Every morning when you rise<br />

They never ever change they're just the same<br />

When you're weary to extreme<br />

And you never laugh or cry<br />

You're just a sheet of glass behind a frame.<br />

<br />

The best days of your life are when you don't know right from wrong<br />

When the fantasies around you seem so real<br />

And reality is really as fantastic as your dreams<br />

Now you know how I feel.<br />

<br />

So the train pulls out forever, just a whistle and it's gone<br />

And the station disappears before your eyes<br />

In time the rails will rust and you'll forget that you've been there<br />

Now I know how you feel.
