Three Cheers For Our Side

I'm just like a whisper on the breeze

Praying to the team oh don't say me

I'm just like a whistler on the tree

Praying to the breeze oh don't move me

I've seen that the silence can break your heart

It's like a bond of iron we'll rend apart

We sit here in torpor by our old fireside

And just agree to differ --- Three cheers for our side

You can laugh at danger all day long

Still be laughing when the sun has gone

Be wise to history

Open your eyes and declare to me

See them wending, never ending, smiling cheers

You know that very shortly they'll change to tears

We sit here for ever by our old fireside

And won't sing in spring --- Three cheers for our side

Say not so long

Sift through the sand

Wave of the hand

Goodbye
