[00:00.13]The Soldier - Chris De Burgh
[00:01.26]Lyrics by：Chris De Burgh
[00:02.41]Composed by：Chris De Burgh
[00:11.05]They used to see him everyday
[00:16.05]Walking down the beach
[00:20.22]An old man with his memories
[00:24.97]No friends or family
[00:29.57]They say he'd been a soldier
[00:33.10]And a hero from the war
[00:38.89]A solitary man who lived alone
[00:48.50]And on the day he died
[00:52.95]His medals were by his side
[00:57.14]And a letter in his hand that said
[01:06.41]I have always been a soldier
[01:11.66]I have served my king and my queen
[01:17.08]Now I'm getting older
[01:21.89]I can only dream
[01:26.08]When I make that final journey
[01:30.63]I will turn my face to the sea
[01:35.98]In this world of changes
[01:40.86]Please remember me
[01:52.90]The paper ran a story on
[01:57.08]This brave and humble man
[02:01.66]There's no one here to mourn him
[02:06.15]Can someone lend a hand?
[02:10.81]And on the day they brought him down
[02:15.30]To the place where he would lie
[02:19.66]There were thousands on the street
[02:23.28]To say goodbye
[02:29.19]And many more would go
[02:33.41]In the days and months ahead
[02:38.15]To read these words in stone that said
[02:46.98]I have always been a soldier
[02:52.43]I have served my king and my queen
[02:57.78]Now I'm getting older
[03:02.67]I can only dream
[03:06.95]When I make that final journey
[03:11.53]I will turn my face to the sea
[03:16.77]In this world of changes
[03:21.39]Please remember me
[03:26.34]In these world of changes
[03:31.18]Please remember me
