Le Chanson Du Soldat

Floorboards creak

Street lights glistening

In your sleep

I hear you whispering

Your trembling spoke volumes

You fear for me

Keep this medallion close

If you don't hear from me

'Cause I don't know when I'll be around again

I'll be around, again

I don't know when I'll be around again

I'll be around, again

Ships that sailed

Early in the morning

I might fail

Without any warning

And I don't know when I'll be around again

I'll be around, again

I don't know when I'll be around again

I'll be around again

I don't know when I'll be around again

I'll be around, again

This might be the end

This might be the end

Go to sleep, sweet little girl

Go to sleep, you'll always be my little girl

Go to sleep, sweet little girl

Go to sleep, you'll always be my little girl

I don't know when...

(spoken, in French:)

I knew this moment was going to come...

I knew you were going to leave
