Song For The Dead Lyrics - Randy Newman

Deep in the field 

A lone soldier stands 

With mud on his boot 

And blood on his hands 

They left him behind 

To bury the dead 

And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership 

Pardon me, boys 

If I slip off my pack 

And sit for a while with you 

I'd like to explain 

Why you fine young men had to be blown apart 

To defend this mud hole

Now our country, boys 

Though it's quite far away 

Found itself jeopardized 

Endangered, boys 

By these very gooks 

Who lie here beside you 

Forever near 

Forever

We'd like to express 

Our deep admiration 

For your courage under fire 

And your willingness to die 

For your country, boys 

We won't forget 

We won't forget
