Ice Cream Soldier
He sits all alone thinking to
himself.
Does anybody know the reason for this shell?
The people around him reach out in despair.
He is gone, but they don't know where.
Taken from his mother cause she was very young.
They thought that they knew better.
He wondered what he'd done.
When he was in trouble they knew just what to do.
The future was risky but so was the truth.
Some years after searching he met his magistrate.
The paper he was waving, it even had a name.
Suddenly frightened, he could not tell you why.
His hope against hope had to get him by.
He was an ice cream soldier,
a cap gun cowboy.
Living in a fantasy
all by himself.
A cap gun cowboy,
an ice cream soldier.
As the world goes by
the wounds are doing well.
The boy became a man and left them all behind.
Grateful for the chance, he let his life unwind.
When he found the woman how he did make her cry.
Now they have each other and don't ask why.
He's still an ice cream soldier,
a cap gun cowboy.
Living in a fantasy
all by himself.
A cap gun cowboy,
an ice cream soldier.
As the world goes by
the wounds are doing well.
A cap gun cowboy,
an ice cream soldier.
As the world goes by
the wounds are doing well.
