I found a soldier in a box A souvenir that someone lost at such a cost The cemetery gates were closed Only the humming birds would smell the flowers brought for ghosts There's not much fame or fortune For the fortuneteller selling fortunes to the broke Soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely Soldier in a box... he's nothing special He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares He's serenading himself "No need to say this letter better get to where he lays his head!" she said Seventeen months of wondering why she forgot to send her thoughts was all he got instead Her soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely Soldier in a box... he's nothing special He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there He's celebrating himself cuz nobody's there He's serenading himself He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
