Lyrics

The night’s never closer than on watch
No silence so deep
As everyone puts their trust in you
That they may sleep

Came day, we marched together
Came night, you had my back

We watered our horses in the Rhine
One fine day in spring
Rested upon the riverside
The lark did sing

Came day, we marched together
Came night, you had my back

There’ll come a day to say fare thee well
To pack up our arms
Return to our families once again
And work our farms

But until then, we’ll march together
Until then, you’ll have my back
