Mark Knopfler - Remembrance Day

On your maypole green See the winding Morris men Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken Waving hankies, sticks and books All the earthen roofs Standing at the crease The batsman takes a look around The boys are fielding on home ground The steeple sharp against the blue When I think of you Sam and Andy Jack and John Charlie, Martin Jamie, Ron Harry, Stephen Will and Don Matthew, Michael On and on We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them Time has slipped away The Summer sky to Autumn yields A haze of smoke across the fields Let's sup and fight another round And walk the stubbled ground When November brings The poppies on Remembrance Day When the vicar comes to say May God bless them every one Lest we forget our sons We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them
