Lyrics

The wait it’s killing me
Soon I’ll face what will be
When the whistle breaks this trance
I’ll see my friends take their last chance
And we know there’s no return
Our hopes in this hole will burn
But now I can see
Little children play upon green hills far far away
Our girls our mums our friends
I can see their tears they know our end
For now our time has come and only god survives man's gun
I can’t go on
One more yard
Grey ghosts now drifting by
Oh I can hear their lonesome cries
And this battle now is over
For all my friends all gone and died
And now it’s time to kneel and pray to our god
Spare me again so I can still fight on
This war’s so hard
I can’t go on
One More Yard
Written by: Brian Eno, Lieutenant Michael Thomas Wall, Sir Christopher Thomas Evans
