Keep the Home Fires Burning (radio edit)

Текст песни John McCormack - Keep the Home Fires Burning (radio edit)

[Verse 1]
They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cheery song

[Chorus]
Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home

[Verse 2]
Overseas there came a pleading
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies
Honour bade us do no less
For no gallant son of freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend."
[Chorus]
Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home
