Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy, come marching home
Brave soldier boy, come marching home
Sitting by the windowsill
Lit by the moon
Waiting, hoping that
The war will end soon
And our little soldier boy, will march on home
Brave soldier boy, come marching home
Deep in the valley where
The cold wind never blows
There's a single, ruined cabin where
No one dares to go
Their little soldier boys, never came home
None of their soldier boys ever came home.
Everybody here's to blame
We all count the cost
The battle may be won today
But look at what we've lost
These dead soldier boys will not go home
These brave soldier boys will not go home.
For Mako.
A/N: Mako was the original voice actor for Iroh, who died of cancer just before The Tales of Ba Sing Se, the episode where everyone has mini-adventures in Ba Sing Se. Greg Baldwin did the voice acting for the show afterwards.
This song has always been my favourite from Avatar, well, it's tied with Secret Tunnel, but still.
So, review. Tell me how I did.
A/N 2: Decided to add in another verse at the end.
