lyrics

No one was there to receive me
kicking at heaven’s backdoor
So i made my way
back to the front lines of the war

On my way back down to the rubble
All around me vultures sang
I got this dog named Tex
that hasn’t left my side in days

I came to a camp by a clearing
Where men of sickness sang
a song from the books of the late Iron Age

the rain in Bruges kept falling
the cranes of Ghent were swinging round
the Flying Circus scattered all the village to the ground
the sparrow flies blind
the sparrow flies blind

It’s Christmas time
I’ll walk the mile out to the borderline
No man’s land is a place we can all stand on

Andy knew this girl from Edinburgh
the poor boy fell for her like a stone
She waved her scarf in the air
the day his London bus left home

I was hanging down round the pulpit
the day his Dear John letter came
Andy walked off into the end of the night in the rain
the sparrow flies blind
the sparrow flies blind

It’s Christmas time
I’ll walk the mile out to the borderline
No man’s land is a place we can all stand on

Candles lined the trenches
as far as the eye could see
The air was dry and the mist was slow to leave

Captain Holt come quickly
our men have joined the enemy
Kicking a bully beef tin all around no man’s land
What side are you on?
Boys what side are you on?

It’s Christmas time
I’ll walk the mile out to the borderline
No man’s land is a place we can all stand on
It’s Christmas time
Say a prayer for me Ma,
but don’t you cry
No man’s land is a place we can all stand on
