On a day when soldiers will be coming home You know that you will not be alone As they will be passing through your town One of them will strip you of your gown
One of them you've never seen before A crippled boy you won't meet anymore Poor child with his eyes as pale as snow You will give him what he's looking for
As those soldiers fought and risked their lives They have seen their friends and brothers die And it means they have a certain right To drop by and spend with you a night
On a day when soldiers will be coming home You know that you will not be alone As they will be marching through your town One of them will strip you of your gown
One of them you've never seen before A crippled boy you won't meet anymore And you know you'll give away your life By the time those soldiers will be home alright
