Artist/Band: Strawbs
Lyrics for Song: The Weary Song
Lyrics for Album: Halcyon Days (US Release) [1998]



Strawbs - The Weary Song



The soldier smiling softly sings a song of sad farewell

As the train pulls out to take him far from home

His children waving gaily without knowing he has gone

Now you know what I feel.



And the thoughts that always greet you

Every morning when you rise

They never ever change they're just the same

When you're weary to extreme

And you never laugh or cry

You're just a sheet of glass behind a frame.



The best days of your life are when you don't know right from wrong

When the fantasies around you seem so real

And reality is really as fantastic as your dreams

Now you know how I feel.



So the train pulls out forever, just a whistle and it's gone

And the station disappears before your eyes

In time the rails will rust and you'll forget that you've been there

Now I know how you feel.
