Five Little Soldiers Lyrics by Katie Gavin

2009

[Verse 1]
It's a promise
Like a blanket
It'll keep ‘em warm
Keep ‘em safe, and
Keep ‘em sound, and
Never be alone
Never be alone

And all of the neighbors peered out of their fog-stained window panes
They packed their bags and headed for the Eastern coast of Maine
Never to return to the street where love was born

[Pre-Chorus]
But with no one to teach ‘em
They'll never learn
Yeah with no one to teach ‘em
They'll never learn

[Chorus]
Five little soldiers
They're getting older
Well they're still young
Carry them over the fury and the flames
‘Cause the damage is done
The damage is done, done, done, done, done

[Verse 2]
And he was waiting in a blanket
And he was wondering, now
Is it safe to come out?

And every robin and blue jay find their home in their wintertime, yes
They all rose up from the smoke
Heading out for someplace in the west
Never losing sight of what perished in the night

[Chorus]
Five little soldiers
They're getting older
Well they are still young
Carry them over the fury and the flames
Cause the damage is, oh
[Bridge]
The ash in the show
Looks like the lines on the face of an angel, so
And, oh, I wish you could know that you will be followed wherever, wherever you go
He will follow wherever, wherever you go

Five little soldiers
They're getting older
Well they're still, they are still, they are still young

[Chorus]
Five little soldiers
They're getting older well they are still young
Carry them over the fury and the flames
But the damage is done
The damage is done
