When the desert swallows my grave
When they tell you I’ve been brave
Don’t forget me

When in the sky the stars are bright
And their light fades as goes the night
Don’t forget me

When they speak of other names
And fail to stoke the flames
Don’t forget me

When you’re alone with your thoughts
Reliving the battles I fought
Don’t forget me

When they chop down our favourite tree
To warm their home while you think of me
Don’t forget me
