This is a song about the awfulness of what war can do

Davy Wilson

Does anyone know if Davy Wilson's alive ?
I often wonder if he survived the war
We were together as kids at school
he made me laugh playing the fool

Playing the fool , playing the fool
he was at school playing the fool

but now them days are just a blur
my mind is full of bitter fur
and sadness caused my absent friends
who went away forever in one way or another

Playing the fool , playing the fool
he was at school playing the fool

even if they did return
you could see they'd learned a lesson
if eyes could could tell a story
they'd take you to a private hell and tell you awful things

Playing the fool , playing the fool
he was at school playing the fool

I hope he made it through the war
but then if he could play the fool no more
maybe it's best he didn't come home
and I can live his memory

I'd hate to see the eyes that once danced with imps
be full of darkened shadows
I'd hate the thought that he grew old
with eyes that spoke of horror

[Veance]

interresting lyrics.
Written by someone who has seen a thing or two in life I guess?
They moved me. So that's good, right?
