Flags & Banners Song Lyrics
Flags & Banners by Rod Steward (rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)[vocals by ronnie lane]Last night I was woken by my cryHad a dream just as plain as you and iSaw the morning sun on a woodland in the springStill hear the echo crashing through the treesOh when I saw you down I fell upon my kneesYou and I we were wearing southern greyI called to you, but I used another nameI beat the ground and I cried out in your painBut through a scarlet door I watched you slipping awayAnd your brothers’ helpless prayers were all in vainLast night I was woken by my cry
