Tin Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's all the same, and then suddenly
You see the frame, but turn away
Faces in time, that's when I was your hero
Wrap my soul in cellophane
Drown my secrets in the rain
Johnny comes marchin' home again
Hey tin soldier, the war ain't over
Bang bang bang beat the drums of war
Don't know the name don't know the tin soldier
Times up, comin' down
Silver stars watch 'em tumbling down
We all fall down
Cold war runnin' through my veins
Don't know the name don't know the face of
The tin soldier
Yeah! Yeah! yeah!
Come hide inside, come in under
Do you hear the guns, do you hear the drums
Wrap my soul in cellophane
Purple heart hangin' on a chain
Only the battleground has changed
Hey tin soldier, the war ain't over
Johnny comes marchin' home again
Don't know the name don't know the face of
The tin soldier
