Lyrics

Cody says he's marching

It's spring time Cody, and I'm in bloom
I feel close to the earth
Our friends are busy making plans
Great journeys at their birth
And I want to feel that joy
With you who I adore
But you tell me, Cody, that you will
Go marching off to war
Oh, God, please, Cody, don't go off to war

Touch me, Cody, feel my heart
It's beating there for you
I never made no special plans
I always planned on you
A house a family
That's what I was hoping for
But you tell me, Cody, that you will
Go marching off to war
Oh, God, please, Cody, don't go off to war

The spring time air, it feels so cool
As the sun is sinking down
And in the gathering dusk, my love
Please take a look around
Here is where you make your stand
Not on some distant shore
Don't tell me, Cody, that you will
Go marching off to war
Oh, God, please, Cody, don't go off to war

'Cause here is where you make your stand
Not on some distant shore
Don't tell me, Cody, that you will
Go marching off to war
Oh, God, please, Cody, don't go off to
God, please, Cody, don't go off to
God. please, Cody, don't go off to war
