Скачать или смотреть Don't give your Life away

I've not seen my dearest mate
Months back from the battle front
Lost his leg when he was coming home
When I met him, he was blunt
In a low grunt, seeing me
He turned and wheeled away

I guess he couldn't bear the pain
Say memory is a hand grenade
Dark stain on the day to day
The faces of dead comrades
And the questions on my face?
Too high a cost to pay

Don't give your life away
Don't give your life away
No, don't give your life away
Don't give your life away

You give your life away to the men
Who never lose much sleep
Who never run too deep
When they sign off on
Broken bodies, broken bones,
And broken hearts

I lost another friend today
Walking in the blood red shadows
Back from hell but never home
Death hangs like a black day crow
And a cold and bitter wind
Blows across his way

Don't give your life away
Don't give your life away
No, don't give your life away
Don't give your life away

And a cold and bitter wind
Blows across his way
It whispers
Don't give your life away to the men
Who never lose much sleep
Who never run too deep
When they sign off on
Broken bodies, broken bones,
And broken hearts
And leave you weeping
Leave you weeping…

Don't give your life away
Don't give your life away
No, don't give your life away
Don't give your life away
