Don’t Take The Heroes Lyrics – Kimber’s Men
Singer: Kimber’s Men
Title: Don’t Take The Heroes
They can’t believe it in Penzance town
They’ve head that the Soloman Browne has gone down
The Union Star wrecked in the swell
With all lives lost, eight heroes as well
But don’t take the heroes who answer the call
Don’t take the heroes, return them to shore
You’re winning the battle for lives lost at sea
But don’t take the heroes, don’t take the heroes
They’re fathers and brothers, and sons just like me
He stands alone, was it God’s design?
We shall not take fathers and their sons this time
Trevelyan’s words still ring in his ears
The salty spray meets his salt tears
But don’t take the heroes who answer the call
Don’t take the heroes, return them to shore
You’re winning the battle for lives lost at sea
But don’t take the heroes, don’t take the heroes
They’re fathers and brothers, and sons just like me
There on the shelf his photograph stands
She’s holding a medal instead of his hands
But medals can’t caress, can’t wipe away tears
Can’t care for a mother in her golden years
But don’t take the heroes who answer the call
Don’t take the heroes, return them to shore
You’re winning the battle for lives lost at sea
But don’t take the heroes, don’t take the heroes
They’re fathers and brothers, and sons just like me
The Small boy he said, “What did Daddy do?
And why do I live here all alone with you?”
She showed him the medal, said, “Stand proud and tall
And when you’re a man you’ll answer the call.”
But don’t take the heroes who answer the call
Don’t take the heroes, return them to shore
You’re winning the battle for lives lost at sea
But don’t take the heroes, don’t take the heroes
They’re fathers and brothers, and sons just like me
But gifts can’t mend families all torn apart
And ease the pain in each grieving heart
But although you’ve taken Trevelyan’s men
We won’t be beaten, we’ll fight you again
But don’t take the heroes who answer the call
Don’t take the heroes return them to shore
You’re winning the battle for lives lost at sea
But don’t take the heroes, don’t take the heroes
They’re fathers and brothers
Fathers and brothers
Fathers and brothers, and sons just like me
