Ambush, Nilsson Schmillson Lyrics - Singles - Nilsson Harry

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 

With 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 opened fire 

Now we aint gonna sing that song no more 

Aint gonna sing that song no more 

Just dont pay to sing no more 

Specially when your in a war, a war 

Now this time through, we want everybody to listen to the punch line, 

Alright, Alright. Alright? Alright! 

The song was sung with spirit 

But soft and like a choir 

But by the time we stopped the song 

The enemy opened fire 

Now we aint gonna sing that song no more 

Aint gonna sing that song no more 

Just dont pay to sing no more 

Specially when your in a war, war
