"Goodbye boys in blue" |
What
is that wonderful sound
It’s coming from the cemetery
ground
Sounds like bagpipes from a
military tattoo
A large number of people
gathered wearing blue
It’s a police funeral conducted
in a military fashion
Marching in line with pride and
passion
They are saying goodbye to their
fallen comrade
All performed with the precision
of a military parade
An observer cannot feel anything
but proud
To have touched the life of the
person in the funeral shroud
To give your life in such a way
Heroic to the end, the supreme
price to pay
The dedication of the boys in
blue
To sacrifice their lives for you
They are eternally in your debt
The sacrifice, you do not regret
