This Boy

Tony Hiller, John Goodison

[Intro]
A soldier cries alone and cryin'
He knows he's dyin' and he's afraid

[Verse 1: Chorus]
The river red strayed all around him
The life within him is fading fast
For this boy ain't ever gonna see
The lives of his own hometown
And this boy may never comin' back
With friends who were once around

[Verse 3: Paul]
A shallow grave, no words were spoken
A body broken released from pain

[Chorus]
A battle fought and lost forever
Now he can never return again
For this boy ain't ever gonna see
The lives of his own hometown
And this boy may never comin' back
With friends who were once around

[Sunny]
God bless my only son, who died

[Chorus]
And though I can't
This boy ain't ever gonna see
The lives of his own hometown
This boy ain't ever gonna see
The lives of his own hometown
And this boy may never comin' back
With friends who were once around
