Strawbs - Thirty Days lyrics

rate me

I have people to free, they're depending on me<br />

So I can't afford to die<br />

Get them safely back, then I won't stay too long<br />

I'll be leaving soon for London<br />

So I'll look this war straight in the eye<br />

Only thirty days so I can't afford to die.<br />

<br />

When I think of the dead, that go round in my head<br />

No I can't afford to die<br />

So the thing to do is pretend that they weren't there<br />

With my baby at home waiting<br />

I can give myself a little sigh<br />

Only thirty days so I can't afford to die.<br />

<br />

God ain't taking my hand, not to no promised land<br />

So I can't afford to die<br />

So I'll cease my command before another bomb<br />

If I see my home a free man<br />

I'll remember why I never cried<br />

Only thirty days so I can't afford to die.
