A soldier lay down in the bundu one night For his buddy had taken the watch to first light And as he lay down He rested his bones And had a sweet dream on his bed of hard stones It was only a soldier's dream It was gone with the cold light of day It was only a soldier's dream In the morning it melted away And where he lay down There were thorns all around And they all became a soft eiderdown And the call of the jackal that tortured his fears Was the laughter of friends like a song in his ears It was only a soldier's dream It was gone with the cold light of day It was only a soldier's dream In the morning it melted away The twinkling stars were the lights of the bars And the slugs in the veld were Havana cigars And the gun that he cradled so close to his chest Was the girl that he longed to hold to his breast It was only a soldier's dream It was gone with the cold light of day It was only a soldier's dream In the morning it melted away His battered canteen Held Burgundy wine And his old combat jacket was velvet and fine And the camouflage net was a veil of white lace That he lifted and kissed her newly-wed face It was only a soldier's dream It was gone with the cold light of day It was only a soldier's dream In the morning it melted away
