Lonely Soldier Lyrics - Damien Rice

Lonely soldier, go home 

Lonely but never alone 

Good eyes see nothing to shoot 

Good feet feel good giving up good boots 

So ask your father how'd you fall 

Ask your father how'd you fall 

Like a leaf sitting on the ground 

Good for nothing 'cept kicking around 

She died with her hands stretched out 

She died with a hungry mouth 

She died with her mind full of doubt 

And thoughts of weakening

So may your river never dry 

And may your mouth never lie 

And may you be satisfied to never know why 

Sometimes someone just wants to die 

So where'd you get those cuts in your hand? 

I thought I told you about playing in the sand 

There's always someone careless with glass 

There's always questions you don't want to ask 

She died with her hands stretched out 

She died with a hungry mouth 

She died with her mind full of doubt 

And thoughts of weakening 

So may your river never dry 

And may your mouth never lie 

And may you be satisfied to never know why 

Sometimes someone just wants to die

So, lonely soldier, go home 

Lonely but never alone 

Good eyes see nothing to shoot 

Good feet feel good giving up good boots
