Old Soldier
Crosby David
Thousand Roads
Old Soldier
Listen old soldier wherever you are
The hills or the valleys
Come near or come far
They say youth's a treasure
We waste when we're young
So come down from the place
Where your medals are hung
You're forever returning and learning to fight
And you feel just like an old soldier tonight
Listen old soldier 'cause time doesn't wait
The moon's on your shoulder
The hour is late
There's something there inside you
Still calls out to you
And you won't fade away
Whatever you do
You're forever beginning
Barely winning the fight
And you feel just like an old soldier tonight
You're not getting any younger
That much is true now
But you've still got that hunger
Burning in you now
So what do you do now
What do you do now
Listen old soldier
To the sound in your ears
Of too many battles
For too many years
There's only one thing
You've learned in defeat
Losing is bitter
And victory is sweet
You're always unravelling
Traveling light
And you feel just like an old soldier tonight
Feel just like an old soldier tonight
