Dear Old Battlefield Songtext

von Incredible String Band

Just another rusty brother
Seeing his old role replayed,
Looking in the world like a broken mirror
Seeing his old face displayed.

They come and go, come and go.
Why do you advertise goodbye?
Living a lie will lay you low,
What can I tell you, what can I sell you?
But the truth will make you high.

[Refrain]
Death is unreal that's the way I feel,
There's more to be revealed.
Lovers and friends meet again and again
On the dear old, on the dear old,
On the dear old battlefield.

[Refrain]

I will see my memory lightly let me go.
I know that we will always be,
But time pass fast and slow.

Age long cradle song
Almost had me sleeping for good.
If not for the plan of the magic man
Who finally helped me out of the wood.

On the dear old battlefield.
