in the blackness of the night i see a shadow passing by

from the heels of an old soldier boy .
C D G Em
there’s no comprimising and his eyes are black as the sky

for this bad , bad world he is going to die .

in the blackness of the night i see a sparkle of a star

from the sweet silver tear of a child

when her parents were happy she was too young to know
