Ambush Lyrics - Harry Nilsson

The lamp that lights the way 

Is a light from yesterday 

The drum which leads the way 

Is a sound from yesterday 

The road is filled with shadows 

Of a million, living leaves 

Darkness all around us 

And not a friend in sight 

We sang a song together 

To help us through the night 

The song was sung with spirit 

But soft and like a choir

And as the others sang along 

Our voices lifted higher 

We sang until' we reached the bridge 

We crossed, then saw the wire 

But by the time we stopped the song 

The enemy had opened fire 

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more 

Ain't gonna sing that song no more 

Just don't pay to sing no more 

Especially when you're in a war, a war 

Now, this time through 

We want everybody 

To listen to the punchline 

All right, all right, all right, all right 

The song was sung with spirit 

But soft and like a choir 

But by the time, we stopped the song 

The enemy had opened fire

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more 

Ain't gonna sing that song no more 

Just don't pay to sing no more 

Especially when you're in a war, oh
