A Soldier’s Life From Childhood To Death.

Harry seeing Red

After school one day
On his way back from choir
He met a girl he’d seen before
But he never knew her name
He looked in her eyes
And she smiled at him
They agreed to meet up
Later that evening
He was due to go to cadets
But he just had to meet her
On top of plum pudding hill
Where the grass grows long
They sat close to each other
She was humming her song
Meeting maria
Her name was maria
He was meeting maria
Meeting maria
She lived in meridian flats
With her family from cardiff
Her mum was a valleys girl
Her dad a jamaican sailor
One brother, two sisters
She was caught in the middle
He loved her straight away
Stopped going to cadets
His life was all changed
She lay back in his arms
Upon plum pudding hill
Where the grass grows long
With her jet black hair
Gently humming her song
The best thing that happened
Was meeting maria
Her name was maria
Always meeting maria
