lyrics

I've been across the oceans, I flew down that warm July
As we landed on those green fields and I watched my brothers die
We continued to the cities, moving house to house
I wish we paused a second when we shot those people down

Like this the years went by and I jumped so many times
Into cities, and hilly countryside, while other men redrew their lines
I caught a lift back to the border, I married her when I arrived
And I witnessed all the bombings with my friends who had survived

And then the war was over
In cheers we returned
But it wasn't quite the same
No, it wasn't quite the same
You know it was never quite the same

And so we left our families, we took your father on a ship
We landed in a new land where we could rest a little bit
I took a job in the post office, soon enough our family grew
Your grandma took care of your dad and then along came you

Now I've said goodbye to your grandma and I'm dying now as well
For those things we did those years ago I'm afraid I'll go to hell
When we were only children the generation made its vow
And the last thing, god bless you my son, we are together now

When the war was over
In cheers we returned
But it wasn't quite the same
No son it wasn't quite the same
You know it was never quite the same

Five hundred a day
In this old age, now we die
Carry the burden of younger times
We carried the burden
