25 Daniels - Bombadil

25 daniels rode off that day

They were wearing the same coat of blue

No one was sure how many would die

But most guessed it’d be at least 22

And so damn old man time and his dirty trick ways

Made the worst month of her life feel like 36 days

And the last time she smiled was for heaven and you

In the winter of 1972

25 daniels rode off that day

They were wearing the same coat of blue

Each of them thought they would surely survive

Cos their courage was loyal and true

And so damn the other side and their dirty trick ways

How the redcoats conspired to make dirty water ways

And the last time she smiled was for heaven and you

In the winter of 1972

On the lam was one daniel the lone runaway

Who had thrown off his coat of blue

He won a whole in his sock, scored a hole in his shirt

Where the bullets should have gone through

And so damn old man time and his dirty trick ways

Made the worst month of her life feel like 36 days

And the last time she smiled was for heaven and you

In the winter of 1972
