lirik lagu strawbs - beat the retreat
the rat race was over
before it was won
and i started walking
when i could have run
like a child who missed out
on a sunday school treat
now you know how i feel when
i beat the retreat.
i slept like a soldier
my gun at my side
my uniform folded
i wore it with pride
i could not rest contented
till i joined the elite
now you know how i feel when
i beat the retreat.
this winter wind brings
such a chill to my bones
erect in my memory
a small cairn of stones
so that those from afar
can see where our paths meet
now you know how i feel when
i beat the retreat.
the last post is sounding
now it’s time to be gone
there’s no further reason
for singing this song
the battle is over
i accept the defeat
now you know how i feel when
i beat the retreat.
