"Welcome Home" -Eric
Now when the came home, Annie cried and Annie cheered She'd been on her own for a long and year Living for his letters from far away And dreading the official
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 she was in his arms
Welcome home, boys, home Don't you know, you've been too long Did you wonder, there, when you tired, when you were scared, If your really cared, welcome home
When a goes to war, everyone's a casualty Some are maimed and scarred, most have wounds you see So in place of the man 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 hate is muddy quicksand, love is steel Annie for his wounds to heal
home, boys, welcome home Don't you know, you've gone too long We're so glad that you're alive And you will wonder why You when others died, welcome home
So on a sunny Sydney morning, I heard old war drums and watched the boys marching, down the city street* To claim their place in the nation's their blood and pain had earned A nation that rejoiced in return
And if the day helped to heal some is a matter of debate For it had come none too soon, for others far too late But I found hoping, as the boys went marching past for them the war was over, at last
Welcome home, boys, welcome Don't you know, you've been too long What you went through in Vietnam, we can't begin to But to each and every man, welcome
home, boys, welcome home Don't you know, been gone too long May the bring you release, as the memories decrease May you find some kind of peace, home May you find kind of peace, welcome home
