Sweet bird of sunrise
Brown haired and sad eyes
Cry not one tear for me
And I'll be home
I've heard some friends say
This war won't last a day
You must be brave
And I trust you'll wait
Here are my hands
Keep them warm for me
If I rush away
Don't turn your head
If I die, to me
You promise this
Try and think of me
As one lost friend
But if you hear a song
Sing slowly sisters
That will be us again
So please be strong
Now as we march away
Sing slowly sisters
Sing slowly sisters
Here are my hands
Keep them warm for me
If I rush away
Don't turn your head
If I die, to me
You promise this
To try and think of me
As one lost friend
But if you hear a song
Sing slowly sisters
Now as we march along
Sing slowly sisters
Sing slowly sisters
