A Soldiers Dream

a soldier’s dream music and lyrics by donovan p . leitch from the motion picture brother sun sister moon . original tuning is about half tone down ( or maybe less ) Am oh , the drums are so mournful G Am my dear , oh , my love Dm Am as my thoughts they are turning your way Dm Am where are the eyes G E i beheld with my own Am Dm Am on that long ago lazy day? dead are the leaves on the stark battlefield the stench of the flesh sickens me i sleep soaking wet A and the worms eat my bread the mourning of men fills the air oh , green are the leaves on the old apple tree those sweet perfumed blossoms of spring entwined in your hair a smile in your eyes a soft blade of grass for a ring oh , the drums are so mournful my dear , oh , my love as my thoughts they are turning your way where are the eyes i beheld with my own on that long ago lazy day? on that long ago lazy day
