Little tin soldier they gave you an innocent gun
|
And then they welded your hand in place
|
And then they put black paint in your eyes
|
They made you smaller than life-size
|
And they threw rocks at you
|
And chipped your pretty coat
|
When they knew you had to wear that coat forever
|
Little tin soldier they neglected to give you a tongue
|
They fixed your legs so you could not run
|
And then they put you in boxes and sold you
|
None of them ever wanted to hold you
|
They just set fire to you
|
And singed your gallant plume
|
And they made you lie in boxes all together
|
And from the tiny dark glass
|
Of all those tiny prisons
|
I can hear tin soldiers singing
|
With the silence of their fears
|
Let it not rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors
|
Let it not rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors
|
I can hear tin soldiers singing
|
With the silence of their fears
|
Don't let it rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors
|
Don't let it rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors
|
Let it not rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors
|
Don't let it rain tomorrow
|
So they will stay outdoors.....
