<br />
The strange young man who comes to me<br />
<br />
A soldier on a three day spree<br />
<br />
Who needs one night`s cheap ecstasy<br />
<br />
And a woman`s arms to hide him<br />
<br />
He greets me with a courtly bow<br />
<br />
And hides his pain by acting proud<br />
<br />
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud<br />
<br />
How can I deny him?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let us dance beneath the moon<br />
<br />
I`ll sing to you "Claire de Lune`<br />
<br />
The morning always comes too soon<br />
<br />
But tonight the war is over<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He speaks to me in schoolboy French<br />
<br />
Of a soldier`s life inside a trench<br />
<br />
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench<br />
<br />
I do my best to please him<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He puts two roses in a vase<br />
<br />
Two roses sadly out of place<br />
<br />
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face<br />
<br />
Playfully I tease him<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold me `neath the Paris skies<br />
<br />
Let`s not talk of how or why<br />
<br />
Tomorrow`s soon enough to die<br />
<br />
But tonight the war is over<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We make love too hard too fast<br />
<br />
He falls asleep, his face a mask<br />
<br />
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask<br />
<br />
I put my arms around him<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They die in the trenches and they die in the air<br />
<br />
In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere<br />
<br />
They die so fast there`s no time to prepare<br />
<br />
A decent grave to surround them<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Old world glory, old world fame<br />
<br />
The old world`s gone, gone up in flames<br />
<br />
Nothing will ever be the same<br />
<br />
And nothing lasts forever<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh I`d pray for him but I`ve forgotten how<br />
<br />
And there`s nothing, nothing that can save him now<br />
<br />
There`s always another with the same funny bow<br />
<br />
And who am I to deny them<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/1917_lyrics-linda_ronstadt.html" target='_blank'>1917 lyrics LINDA RONSTADT</a></pre>

The strange young man who comes to me

A soldier on a three day spree

Who needs one night`s cheap ecstasy

And a woman`s arms to hide him

He greets me with a courtly bow

And hides his pain by acting proud

He drinks too much and he laughs too loud

How can I deny him?

Let us dance beneath the moon

I`ll sing to you "Claire de Lune`

The morning always comes too soon

But tonight the war is over

He speaks to me in schoolboy French

Of a soldier`s life inside a trench

Of the look of death and the ghastly stench

I do my best to please him

He puts two roses in a vase

Two roses sadly out of place

Like the gallant smile on his haggard face

Playfully I tease him

Hold me `neath the Paris skies

Let`s not talk of how or why

Tomorrow`s soon enough to die

But tonight the war is over

We make love too hard too fast

He falls asleep, his face a mask

He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask

I put my arms around him

They die in the trenches and they die in the air

In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere

They die so fast there`s no time to prepare

A decent grave to surround them

Old world glory, old world fame

The old world`s gone, gone up in flames

Nothing will ever be the same

And nothing lasts forever

Oh I`d pray for him but I`ve forgotten how

And there`s nothing, nothing that can save him now

There`s always another with the same funny bow

And who am I to deny them
