about

Over 70 million people lost their lives last century in two world wars either on the field of battle or due to the actions of soldiers. Let's face it, most of those men in the trenches were probably dreaming of seeing the end of the war and someone back home.

lyrics

Just by closing my eyes the world disappears
and this mud flattened hell returns to a field but I’m

So far from safe and warm
My one embrace is the rain falling

So I’ll wait for the war
To take men as it did before, it did before

So day after day, week after week
I’m cradling cigarettes nervously counting
the shadows of men as normal as we are
hoping and waiting for 3 clear signals to

Light up the night sky
but all I get is the bombs falling

So I’ll wait for the war
To take men as it did before
And I’ll pray that this gun won’t fall
Over land and the ocean blue, so blue

With luck and fortune and the beat of a heart
I’ll find a way

So I’ll wait for the war
To take men as it did before
But I know that this gun won’t fall
And I’ll be dancing again in my true loves arms, dancing again
