Songtext von Toy Soldiers

Today I strike out on my own The dog is dead. The kids have grown I fell asleep in my writing chair I drempt I'd found my childhood stare To family dinner Christmas night We'd cross the river shipyard lights Before the heartbreak and unknown Today I strike out on my own Chorus: Hi-diddely-o, didn't ya know? You fade once you glow Didn't ya know, child? After the ryhme, high time diddely-o, didn't you know? You fade once you glow. Didn't ya known, child? After the ryhme, high time. The families gather but we're all Mere Shadows in this Banquet Hall I'm beggin mom will you understand I'm beggin dad will you hold her hand To play outside was all i'd known And Christmas lights on every home Chorus We find the people of our dreams We find that they're not what they seem I've learned that people come and go I've learned that families break and grow Toy soldiers brave away those tears Toy soldiers hope for better years Today I strike out on my own The dog is dead. We kids have grown. Chorus
