Testo Reflections - Beau
Testo della canzone Reflections (Beau), tratta dall'album Edge of the Dark
My life advances, youth to age
To elder sage, and to despise
The children sitting at my feet
Who nod their heads and patronise
And listen to my tales of life
That they were taught in school
The vision of an older man
Long since began to hinder me
As through the fog of failing sight
I stumbled; and then suddenly!
A lens to aid my ageing eyes
And again, I'm twenty-one
The bloody river's running strong
The River Somme, the glory bought
By sacrificing hopeful lives
The cannon fodder. Sharp and short
Was death upon the poppy fields
That ever after grew
And I shouted, "Stop the pounding guns
The river runs, and I am dead!"
But Haig commanded, "Battle on!"
And with bullets whistling round my head
At the age of only twenty-one
I also cried for peace
At the age of only twenty-one
I also cried for peace
