Key: Eb major
Verse 1
Today's the day that he
is coming home.
Seems like he's been gone a life time
And a life time is a long time
But there are songs that need singing,
There are thoughts that still
need thinking,
Verse 2
And overnight turned him into a man.
Proudly he had served his country
In a war he didn't seem to
And as she waits, she thinks it over,
Verse 3
to his childhood,
When all his hand grenades
were merely toys.
And "war" was just a game
that he was playing
With plastic guns like other
waiting for him,
Verse 4
As the plane stops she starts thinking,
Will he still look the way he did before?
Or will his eyes reflect the pain of killing,
Like most young men when they
But there's that hearse
filled up with flowers,
How did you like the song?
