MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Remembrance Day

On your maypole green

See the winding morris men

Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken

Waving hankies, sticks and books

All the earthen roofs



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 sup and fight another round

And walk the stublbed ground



When November brings

The poppies on Remembrance Day

When the vicar comes to say

Lest we forget our sons



We will remember them

Remember them

Remember them



We will remember them

Remember them

Remember them



We will remember them

Remember them

Remember them



We will remember them

Remember them

Remember them
