[Lyric] Enkeldoorn in Arizona (John Edmond)

Old soldier from Rhodesia packed his things and went his way
Made a new life for himself in Arizona, U.S.A

But he kept his camo jacket, though it was a little torn
From those contacts in the valley
That they fought amongst the thorn

One day in that camo jacket
He found memories of the war
A photograph. a dog-tag and a piece of two by four
And while going through the pockets
He felt in his trembling hands
A thorn seed that he planted in the Arizona sands

Now there's an Enkeldoorn in Arizona
Growing in the Arizona sand
Like that Enkeldoorn, that old soldier
Is growing in his new found land

Now thе tree has grown taller, and the years arе passing by
And there's a red flame-lily sunset in the Arizona sky
And he thinks of all the old times
His shamwaries and the war
And the tattered camo jacket still hangs behind the door

Now there's an Enkeldoorn in Arizona
Growing in the Arizona sand
Like that Enkeldoorn, that old soldier
Is growing in his new found land

Now there's an Enkeldoorn in Arizona
Growing in the Arizona sand
Like that Enkeldoorn, that old soldier
Is growing in his new found land
