Flags & Banners

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)

[vocals by ronnie lane]Last night I was woken by my cry

Had a dream just as plain as you and i

Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring

Still hear the echo crashing through the trees



Oh when I saw you down I fell upon my knees

You and I we were wearing southern grey

I called to you, but I used another name

I beat the ground and I cried out in your pain

But through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away

And your brothers' helpless prayers were all in vain

Last night I was woken by my cry
