lyrics

Your eyes are alight with the bonfire tonight
you’re thinking of love
her name in your sighs as you finish your wine
and your pain is a knife, oh, your pain is a knife
you wonder what bends two strong men to the wills of a war
what makes us come out here and put life and heart on the line
king and country
king and queen and country
my country for my queen

Galehaut

(You say) isn’t it great to never have known
what it is to despair
to be dying for one whom you never can tell,
one who never can know, no, they never can know
I bet back at home all the girls come and
fall at your feet
so handsome, so brave, so everything anyone ever could need
all the women
all the beautiful women
calling out your name

Galehaut

You pull yourself up and you hurl down your cup
in the embers that burn
say lucky the man who has never known love
that cannot be returned
my lips remain sealed as I’m left to stare into the flames
you say what would I do without you who just listens and shares in my pain
friend and brother
so much more than brother
goodnight my friend

Galehaut

Your eyes are alight with the bonfire tonight
you’re thinking of love
