Flags And Banners

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)

[vocals by ronnie lane]



Last night i was woken by my cry

Had a dream just as plain as you and i

Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring

Still hear the echo crashing through the trees

Oh when i saw you down i fell upon my knees

You and i we were wearing southern grey

I called to you, but i used another name

I beat the ground and i cried out in your pain

But through a scarlet door i watched you slipping away

And your brothers' helpless prayers were all in vain

Last night i was woken by my cry
