Catman Cohen - Where are My Soldiers? lyrics

Where are my buds from yesterday? Men who raised me up when I was down Mates who kept their faith in me Guys who always handed me the crown Where are my old confidants? Men who taught me all about life Warriors who beat the drums When we would fight the fight My lover can bathe me in her naked tender core Provide a warm place in which to hide But when it's time for war Time for blood I need my soldiers by my side My lover can soothe me in her deep warm soul Perfume away all my misery But when it's time to roll Time for guns I need my soldiers backing me Victories don't feel so good Losses seem more intense Early mornings feel the worst When I really miss my old friends Where are my old confidants? Men who taught me all about life Warriors who beat the drums When we would fight the fight Maurice and John Where have you gone? David and Bill Go take the hill Oh, Michael and Saul I miss you all Jimmy and Jack Please come on back Where are my buds from yesterday?
