It is the same old Druid time as ever

[sovay]

Claude Choules died in May. There is no one left in the world who stopped fighting at the eleventh hour of November 11, 1918.

And the band plays "Waltzing Matilda"
And the old men still answer the call
But year after year, the numbers grow fewer
Someday no one will march there at all

That doesn't mean we should stop remembering.

It sometimes amazes me what humanity can forget, or wants to.

May we never see another war like that one.

In the original version, by Eric Bogle, it's "...but as year follows year/ more old men disappear," but a good song in any case.
