Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Act of Remembrance

Arms of steel, hair of gold

Royal blue eyes, with a rebel soul

You scared me, you still do

But I loved you

More than you ever knew

This is my act of remembrance

My act of remembrance

Doctor's face, said the time had come

I stood up, and began to run

My boy's voice, called your name

You roared back and the silence came

This is my act of remembrance

My act of remembrance

Drove my car, to your street

Hoped a ghost, I would meet

Well that ghost, he's moved on

But his anger, Dad is it gone?

Is the pain gone, is it all gone?

This is my act of remembrance

My act of remembrance

This is my act of remembrance
