Verse 1: I woke up in the rain, mud soaking through my pain
All I could think of was you
I have memories in my head, I remember what you said
You said ?Don?t cry for me, I?m through?
But all I can think of is you
Chorus: You said ?Remember us, we?re the men who fought for your lives
We?re the men who fought for our lives, now you?re free
Remember me, in the morning and the evening
I?m the candle in the water of the stream
Just remember?
Verse 2: Now the fields are full of red, the poppies are your bed
They mark your place in time
As I sit and watch the sun haunted by memories of the guns
You whisper in my ear ?Hear me?
Hear me
Chorus: Remember us, we?re the men who fought for your lives
We?re the men who fought for our lives, now you?re free
Remember me, in the morning and the evening
I?m the candle in the water of the stream
Remember me, in the morning and the evening
Remember me, in the morning and the evening
Remember me, in the morning and the evening
I?m the candle in the water of the stream
Just remember
