It’s quiet here … so quiet
Standing on this hill
But if I stand here too much longer
My eyes with tears will fill
Looking down … I’m there again
On that beach … just down below
Far different … to that morning
That I remember so
That beach … it was a hell on earth
Where no man … should ever go
I remember
I was down there
I should know
Don’t cry now … dear old soldier
That was many years ago
