Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away)
There's a hero's tale, of a ship that sails. Under distant stars somewhere far away. And she's bound for glory, on a foreign shore. But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war.
Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer, saying bring our heroes safely home again.
So the willows weep, and the candles burn, For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn. As I tell your story, with a thankful heart. You are always in our thoughts though we're worlds apart.
Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer, saying bring our heroes safely home again.
Where are you? Somewhere far away. We miss you more with each new day....
Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer, saying bring our heroes safely home again.
