When the War Is Over

歌詞

He went away to fight the war But he doesn't want to anymore He left his family all alone Now he can't wait to get back home (he can't wait to get back home) He hopes that peace will come one day So he can come back home and stay Away from all the guns and smoke Reunited with his folk (reunited with his folk) And when the war is over And the soldiers all come home We'll throw the greatest party The world has ever known And when the war is over And the soldiers all come home We'll sit around the fireside And leave the world alone A telegram lies on the floor His wife waits by the kitchen door Her face is pressed against the glass She waits for marching feet to pass (waits for marching feet to pass) A little boy stands at her knee He's waitin' there excitedly For the daddy that he's never known In the years he was away from home (years he was away from home) And when the war is over When the soldiers all come home We'll throw the greatest party That the world has ever known Oh when the war is over All the soldiers all come home We'll sit around the fireside We'll leave the world alone When the war is over Oh when the soldiers all come home You know that we'll, sit around the fireside And leave the world alone When the war is over We'll leave the world alone
