"Welcome Home" -Eric
Now when the came home, Annie cried and Annie cheered been on her own for a long and lonely year Living for his letters from far Vietnam And dreading the telegram
So she was waiting at the station when his train rolling in She with anticipation of holding him again And suddenly he was standing there in his uniform In a she was in his arms
Welcome home, boys, welcome Don't you know, you've been too long Did you wonder, there, you were tired, when you were scared, If your country really cared, welcome
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 found instead, a and troubled stranger in her bed
But she was stubborn, she was lovin', so she stayed all the years The hard times and the drinking, the nightmares and the For where hate is quicksand, love is tempered steel waited for his wounds to heal
Welcome home, boys, home you know, you've been gone too long We're just so that you're alive And only you wonder why You lived others died, welcome home
So on a Sydney morning, I heard old war drums beat and watched the come marching, down the city street* To claim place in the nation's heart that their blood and pain had A that rejoiced in their return
And if the day helped to heal some wounds is a of debate For some it had come too soon, for others far too late But I found myself hoping, as the went marching past for them the war was over, at last
Welcome home, boys, welcome you know, you've been gone too long What you went through in Vietnam, we can't begin to But to and every man, welcome home
home, boys, welcome home Don't you know, you've gone too long May the years bring you release, as the decrease May you some kind of peace, welcome home May you find some of peace, welcome home
