I thought I shook myself free You see I bounce back quicker than most But I'm half delirious, is too mysterious You walk through my walls like a ghost And I take everyday at a time I'm proud as a lion in his lair Now there's no denying it, a note to crying it Your all tangled up in my head And old soldiers just fade away Harder than November rain And old soldiers just fade away Hard enough to feel the pain We haven't spoken in months You see I've been counting the days I dream of such humanities, such insanities I'm lost like that kid and I'm late But I've never taken your calls You see, haven't no block on my phone I act like an addict, I just got to have it I never can leave it alone And old soldiers just fade away And harder than November rain And old soldiers just fade away Hard enough to feel the pain And I can't give you up Can't leave you alone And it's so hard, so hard And it's hard enough to feel the pain And harder than November rain Old soldiers just fade away And hard enough to feel the pain Old soldiers just fade away And old habits die hard
