Heart Of Oak Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

And how he used to thrill the crowd 

The ready eye with bat and ball 

The village fighter, heavy browed 

The Englishman who had it all 

A mighty shoulder to the wheel 

To join in battle with the best 

The iron arm, the will of steel 

And heart of oak to mourn the rest 

A power harnessed to the game 

Once yoked and tempered fades away 

The willing arm, the steady aim 

The youth and fire that won the day 

As twilight shadows dim the field 

The ageing fighter stands bereft 

With just the will to never yield 

And heart of oak to mourn what's left
