Very Special Day

People danced like in a story from Bernard Shaw
While I stood on my own faces filled the floor
What were they singing for
On nights like this

I missed a very special day
I laugh so loud
Amongst the crowd
Alone I cried

I must leave far away
War is calling me
When you heard you threw me down
Like the enemy

Who sets the soldier free
You know you'd lough
And have your very special day
For who am I to ask you why
When I must fly

For you left me
To see your very special day
You've had your fall
And now you've won
