I knew a sick boy soldier

Who grinned at life

Slept soundly

Through the darkness

And whistled to the night

He comes from a town of normal

Which he is ashamed

People will remember him kindly

But no one remembers his name



It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't right



I knew a sick boy soldier

Who laughed at life

Slept soundly

Through the darkness

And whistled to the night

He comes from a town of normal

Which he is ashamed

People will remember him kindly

But no one remembers his name



It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't right

It gets cold in the winter sometimes(No no no)

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right(No no no)



And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling

Oh carry on

The ships and sails are gone

This place is falling down

Lord it's crumbling

It's crumbling to the ground

Oh carry on

The pirates and sailors have gone

This ship is sinking now



Lord it's crumbling

It's crumbling to the ground



It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't right



It gets cold in the winter sometimes(No no no)

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right(No no no)

And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling



It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't

And mother can't sleep at night

She gets lost in the feeling

But the feeling ain't right
