Mark Knopfler - Remembrance Day Lyrics

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 stubble ground

When November brings
The poppies on Remembrance Day
When the vicar comes to say
May God bless them everyone
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
