"...My Friends I Left Across The Sea."
From "I'm A Lucky One" by Barry Sadler with Tom Mahoney
I'm A Lucky One
I'm goin' home, my tour is done.
I'm goin' home, I'm a lucky one.
But I've left friends behind me
Who won't come home no more,
Yes, many friends remain forever on that bloody shore.
But at night when I sleep
I know my dreams will be, about my friends
I left across the sea.
I'll hear Vrba, Young, and Horn laugh again out loud.
We'll all be together in a happy crowd.
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead,
Feel the crash of mortars, and all my friends are dead.
My friends they fought and gave their all,
My friends they died for freedom's call.
As my dream is ending, they'll come and say good-bye.
Tho' I'm sound asleep, a tear I'll cry.
And they say something which fills my heart with pain:
Tell them about us, Sadler; don’t let us die in vain.
I'm goin' home, my tour is done.
I'm goin' home, I'm a lucky one.
