Soldier Boy
Soldier's Reflection: A Poignant Journey Through Time
Lyrics
Hey there, soldier boy
Addressing a soldier with familiarity or concern.
Do you ever see the sky?
Questioning if the soldier still observes the sky.
Down for all those years
Reflecting on the passing of many years.
Is the light still in your eyes?
Inquiring if the soldier's inner light remains.
Back there all the time
Nostalgically referencing a past period.
Everybody knows your name
Noting the soldier's widespread recognition.
Goin' to the farm
Indicating a journey to a farm, suggesting change.
And now nothing feels the same
Expressing a sense of transformation and unfamiliarity.
She was sweet Marie
Introducing a character named Sweet Marie.
Hard to watch how hard she cried
Observing Marie's emotional distress.
Halfway down the stairs
Locating a moment halfway down the stairs.
When they told her you had died
Describing Marie's reaction to news of the soldier's death.
Hey there, soldier boy
Reiterating the address to the soldier.
There's that open midnight sky
Noticing an expansive midnight sky.
Bound for all those years
Referring to a bound or determined period of time.
Is the light still in your eyes?
Asking again if the soldier's inner light persists.
Is the light still in your eyes?
Reiterating the query regarding the soldier's inner light.
