Soldier's Boy Lyrics

(Kelly/Mann)

Dragged in his fathers footsteps

Onto other people's doorsteps

To shoe-gaze through another afternoon

He's well turned out, his pants are pressed

He's dripping in his Sunday best

As the sun beats down in time to the sound

Of his father going on about the problems of the world

While Kevin stands uncounted at the door

Will Kevin get to heaven any soner?

Will father ever bother looking down?

When he sees the light

He sees the light

There must be empty chairs in the Kingdom hall

What with the summer holidays the flock is getting small

So he's marching 'round my neighbourhood

With a briefcase and a boy

But Kevin doesn't share the Soldier's Joy

I could see right through him

And the lawn was needing mowed

I closed the door and watched him turn to go

When he sees the light

He sees the light

He sees such light

I want him to change for me
