Mark Knopfler - Remembrance Day

On your maypole green see the winding morris men Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken waving hankies, sticks and boots - all the earth and roots Standing at the crease the batsman takes a look around The boys are fielding on home ground The steeple sharp against the blue - when I think of you Sam and Andy, Jack and John Charlie, Martin, Jamie, Ron Harry, Stephen, Will and Don Matthew, Michael - on and on We will remember them remember them, remember them We will remember them remember them, remember them Time has slipped away The summer sky to autumn yields A haze of smoke across the fields Let’s up and fight another round and walk the stubbled ground When November brings the poppies on Remembrance Day when the vicar comes to say ‘May God bless them, every one Lest we forget our sons’ We will remember them remember them, remember them We will remember them remember them, remember them
