IN MEMORIAM
(In Memory of Sgt Tony Hunt, 11th Armored Calvary Regiment)

Can you tell me, now my friend
Why the hard times, never seem to end
Another soldier of the good fights on the ground
Fallen down, fallen down, fallen down

See my brother, see my friend
His step has faltered, at journeys end
No more laughter, no more rhyme
Crazy time, crazy time, crazy time

But still I wonder, why it must be
He leaves the blind behind,
And takes the ones who see
Hey mister landlord up above I disagree
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Why do the good ones, fall fast and quick
While all the rest of us, manage to stick
Goodbye my brother, goodbye my friend
Never dreamed I would speak in memoriam

In memoriam, I sing your song
In memoriam, I sing it strong
In memoriam I lift my voice up high
In goodbye, in goodbye, in goodbye
