about

A song for the fallen in World War One:

lyrics

Light a candle dear, Tommy’s gone to war.
In that foreign land, the war will be over soon,
The war to end all wars.

Christmas came and went, the candle burned down low.
Tommy he’s not home, from the glorious war,
The war to end all wars.

Four more summers passed, the slaughter it was done.
Tommy and his pals, they had won the war,
The war to end all wars.

Peace came at last, so light a candle dear.
Tommy he’s not home, from the bloody war,
The war to end all wars.

So light a candle dear, Tommy went to war.
In that foreign land, Tommy’s laid to rest,
In an unmarked grave.
