Weathered Statues
Lyricist:Barnes Francis, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd, Roche Michael Paul
Weathered statues Tin soldiers that march in our parks Wrapped in yellowed newsprint On their benches in the dark
Their faces filled with sadness Sorrow drawn from your nights Survivin' on old glories But now the, the glories have died
Lonely men who are tortured Once proud but not for long Gnarled hands hold canes Where the guns once were before
Taunted by the children Whose parent's lives he saved Forgotten by a state Whose leg in war he gave
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Silver gleams upon his chest Though sweat gleams on his brow Darker days and sable nights Who work upon his soul
His honor flew away from him Like pigeons on the wind Spendin' his last pennies On cheap wine and sins
Still they make the soldiers And soldiers still grow old Hundred minds with dignity They let the young men die
Another day, another statue Falls out in the dawn Weathered statues Still march on and on
