Dear Old Battlefield Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Just another rusty brother 

Seeing his old role replayed 

Looking in the world like a broken mirror 

Seeing his old face displayed 

They come and go, come and go 

Why do you advertise goodbye 

Living a lie will lay you low 

What can I tell you, what can I sell you 

But the truth will make you high 

Death is unreal that's the way I feel 

There's more to be revealed 

Lovers and friends meet again and again 

On the dear old, on the dear old 

On the dear old battlefield 

Death is unreal that's the way I feel 

There's more to be revealed 

Lovers and friends meet again and again 

On the dear old, on the dear old 

On the dear old battlefield 

I will see my memory 

Lightly let me go 

I know that we will always be 

But time passed fast and slow 

Age long cradle song 

Almost had me sleeping for good 

If not for the plan of the magic man 

Who finally helped me out of the wood 

On the dear old battlefield
