Tudor Lodge - I See A Man lyrics

I see a young man in early days of war Who wants nothing more than to do the best he can And so he volunteers to join the grenadiers And fight the battle for his fellow man I see a man who is welcomed home a hero The crowds cheer as he holds his head up high For now the war is past and now he's home at last The crowd don't notice the tears in his eyes I see a proud man who fought for his country He did everythng a soldier could do But now he's getting old and many times his story's told The crowd don't even know his name any more I see an old man in faded grey flannels Looking through the panels of the pawnshop door Should he go inside; it sure would hurt his pride To sell the medals that he won in the war
