Sol, you boy, don't go
Lay your rifle down
G

Come back to the girl you love
A 
Back to your old hometown

Come back to the life
You left so long ago

The war will soon be over
A 
and there's something you should know

But he lies half a world away,
a thousand miles since the day

He signed away his life

for seven years
D

He can't remember anymore
what he is meant to be there for

In his dreams she always disappears

Soldier boy, young girl
Lay your rifle down

But he will not return to see
Places in his memory

Nobody ever walks that road again

His father's all his friends have gone
There's no one left to carry on

Every battle has been fought in vain

lay your rifle down

back to your old home town

The letter that she never wrote
Was just a scribble torn up note

When the telegram arrived today

The boy was
coming home for good
But she knew he never would

Hear the words that she had meant to say

Lay your rifle down
