The Big Guns Called Me Back Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shadows lengthening
Ninety-five steps I'm taking
With every step I'm longing
For the luck to keep on living
[Chorus]
The drum calls me back again
To my senses, filled with shame
[Verse 2]
Oh, that this night
Would never end
And on no-man's-land
The sun would not rise again
[Chorus]
There was laughing, and I could not laugh
There was singing, and I could not sing
[Post-Chorus]
The big guns called me back again
The big guns called me back again
The big guns called me back again
[Verse 3]
I hear voices singing
I hear the guns beginning
Far off, far away
Shadows lengthening
Ninety-five steps I'm taking
With every step I'm longing
For the luck to keep on living
[Chorus]
The drum calls me back again
To my senses, filled with shame
[Verse 2]
Oh, that this night
Would never end
And on no-man's-land
The sun would not rise again
[Chorus]
There was laughing, and I could not laugh
There was singing, and I could not sing
[Post-Chorus]
The big guns called me back again
The big guns called me back again
The big guns called me back again
[Verse 3]
I hear voices singing
I hear the guns beginning
Far off, far away
[Outro]
I hear the guns again
I hear the guns again
I hear the guns again
I hear the guns again
I hear the guns again
I hear the guns again
