George Michael - The Grave Lyrics

Font:

Align:

The grave that they dug him had flowers

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.

He's gone.

When the wars of our nation did beckon,

A man barely twenty did answer the calling.

Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,

He's gone,

But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done.

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers

Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.

And deep in the trench he waited for hours,

As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.

But the silence of night was shattered by fire

As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.

And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.

In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.

He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
