Lee Kernaghan - Teddy Sheean - Forever Eighteen lyrics

Artist: Lee Kernaghan

album: Spirit of the Anzacs


The bow cut the swell on a course set for Timor
The Armidale plowed through the waves
The enemy found us, sent bombs and torpedoes
Out gunned and out numbered we prayed
"Abandon the ship!" Came the call through the chaos
"Jump for your lives, the ship's going down!"
Then I saw Teddy Sheean
He was wounded and bleeding, strapped to his Oerlikon gun
And he kept on firing as he was dragged under
So noble for someone so young, forever eighteen
We'll never forget Teddy Sheean

The blood and the oil coated men in the water
The stern rose and then disappeared
We clung to the wreckage and still they came at us
Till the silence of evening drew near
We floated two wailers and a raft from a flockson
We hung on and waited for help to arrive
I saw Teddy Sheean
He was wounded and bleeding, strapped to his Oerlikon gun
And he kept on firing as he was dragged under
So noble for someone so young, forever eighteen
We'll never forget Teddy Sheean

The men who survived owe their lives to the lad
The boy who stood strong and held on and fought on till the end
I saw Teddy Sheean
He was wounded and bleeding, strapped to his Oerlikon gun
And he kept on firing as he was dragged under
So noble for someone so young, forever eighteen
We'll never forget Teddy Sheean
