Lyrics
The Last Day of May 1. On the hillside of tears Stones stand like soldiers All at attention, all in a row To brave to stay, to young to go 2. Here's to the boys, who all went before me No honor or glory, could ever repay The lives that you spent Just tears in showers, and hands full of flowers On the last day in May. Chorus Though the valley of death, did swallow them whole God let no soul, die in vain When the boundaries of peace, get out of control Let the Angel of Mercy, hold close their names. 3. There's a house, with a wall With all of the pictures, of all of the children All of them grown There's a woman in the house Who raised all the children Who could never sleep easy, till all where at home 4. Here's to the mothers, who paid the ultimate price Made to live out their lives, in grief all the years Here's to the fathers, who comfort their wife With nothing to offer, but buckets of tears Chorus 5. In fields of green pastures They lie by still water All at attention, all in a row Though flesh turns to dust, souls are forever They restored the order, our cups overflow Chorus
