Rod Stewart - Flags & Banners lyrics

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973) [vocals by ronnie lane] Last night I was woken by my cry Had a dream just as plain as you and i Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring Still hear the echo crashing through the trees Oh when I saw you down I fell upon my knees You and I we were wearing southern grey I called to you, but I used another name I beat the ground and I cried out in your pain But through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away And your brothers' helpless prayers were all in vain Last night I was woken by my cry
