So they sat in class as the teacher told
Of the brave the fallen and days of old
And the old men faded one by one
Just a poppy to remind us of what they'd done
And time rolled on like a runaway train
So much lost for so little gain

from So Little Gain

Church bells are ringing
It's your wedding day
Songbird is singing
It's the way things ought to be
On your finger he places
A new wedding band
A ring that will cover up
A shadow on your hand

from Shadow On Your Hand
