Carbon Leaf - Toy Soldiers Lyrics
Today I strike out on my ownThe dog is dead. The kids have grownI fell asleep in my writing chairI drempt I'd found my childhood stareTo family dinner Christmas nightWe'd cross the river shipyard lightsBefore the heartbreak and unknownToday I strike out on my ownChorus----------Hi-diddely-o, didn't ya know?You fade once you glowDidn't ya know, child?After the ryhme, high timediddely-o, didn't you know?You fade once you glow.Didn't ya known, child?After the ryhme, high time.The families gather but we're allMere Shadows in this Banquet HallI'm beggin mom will you understandI'm beggin dad will you hold her handTo play outside was all i'd knownAnd Christmas lights on every homeChorusWe find the people of our dreamsWe find that they're not what they seemI've learned that people come and goI've learned that families break and growToy soldiers brave away those tearsToy soldiers hope for better yearsToday I strike out on my ownThe dog is dead. We kids have grown.Chorus
