I Am Spring

Son you’ve let your country down, they point their fingers and they frown

Just a boy eighteen no more, who could not face the glories of war

 

I can see and touch my love

I have faith in God above

 

I trembled and shook and covered my head, my comrades for their homeland bled

I cried until my eyes were red, I dropped my gun and home I fled

 

Through the cornfields, through the streams

I am spring and I weave dreams

 

Tommy was a friend of mine, they shot him as he crossed the line

On the wire he hangs so pale, war is war, but this is hell

 

I can see and touch my love

I have faith in God above

 

Son you’ve let your country down, they point their fingers and they frown

Just a boy eighteen no more, who could not face the glories of war

 

Through the cornfields, through the streams

I am spring and I weave dreams

Dreams
