I’d like to be a soldier of war over the sea to you my dear   You always stared at me blankly we said we’d always care my dear   I’m your soldier you’re my soldier    I’m your soldier you’re my soldier   I’d like to see the pain in your eyes like me      I’d like to be a soldier of war over the sea near you my dear   You always stared at me blankly we said we’d always care my dear      I’d like to be a soldier of war over the sea near you my dear   You always stared at me blankly we said we’d always care my dear      Now the stars don’t shine and the birds don’t sing anymore   It’s not the same   Now the stars don’t shine and the birds don’t sing anymore   It’s not the same      These are small victories    These are small victories
