The burning, the bleeding The lifetime spent retreating The black eyes, the white lights The love that will not die
Now the dreams bring troubled sleep, so keep them away Stretched along the road too thin, by too many days
Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away
He won't give, he must live He cannot give into this His blood cold, he craves home The weary soldier crawls
Now the dreams bring troubled sleep, so keep them away Stretched along the road too thin, by too many days
Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away
Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law would keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away
