Cry tears in the rain
From the dimmed glories of the past
from Agincourt and Crecy
from Blenheim and the Somme
look down on your country's last
agony of misery and pain
and cry tears in the rain
As you stood in warrior's steel
on Senlac Hill and Ypres
at Waterloo and Trafalgar
come back to us now
and see your dying strain
and cry tears in the rain
For the country you fought for
is dying more each day
You would not know it now
and if You came back
like us, You - our slain
Would cry tears in the rain
