"Welcome Home" -Eric
Now the boys came home, Annie cried and Annie cheered been on her own for a long and lonely year Living for his from far away Vietnam And the official telegram
So she was waiting at the station when his train came in She ached with of holding him again And he was standing there in his crumpled uniform In a heartbeat she was in his
home, boys, welcome home Don't you know, you've gone too long Did you wonder, there, when you were tired, you were scared, If your country cared, welcome home
When a nation to war, everyone's a casualty Some are maimed and scarred, most have wounds you see So in of the man that she had known, Annie instead, a sick and troubled stranger in her bed
But she was stubborn, she was lovin', so she all through the years The hard and the drinking, the nightmares and the tears For where is muddy quicksand, love is tempered steel Annie for his wounds to heal
Welcome home, boys, welcome you know, you've been gone too long We're just so that you're alive And only you will why You lived when died, welcome home
So on a sunny Sydney morning, I heard old war drums and watched the come marching, down the city street* To claim their in the nation's heart that their blood and pain had A nation rejoiced in their return
And if the day helped to heal wounds is a matter of debate For some it had come none too soon, for far too late But I myself hoping, as the boys went marching past for them the war was over, at last
Welcome home, boys, home Don't you know, you've gone too long you went through in Vietnam, we can't begin to understand But to and every man, welcome home
home, boys, welcome home Don't you know, you've been gone too May the years you release, as the memories decrease May you find kind of peace, welcome home May you find some kind of peace, home
