hello, a telephone tells me that it won’t be long now
Goodbye, don’t you cry, cause I need you to be strong now
Soon they’ll come and give the order
I hope we’ll meet across the border
Love, lay your head on my weary shoulder
I can hear those battle drums
Love, say a prayer for your little soldier
If tomorrow never comes
High ho, I gotta go
Gotta hurry cause time is wasting
So long, please carry on
Pretending like nothing is changing
I try and pull myself together
I’ll be with you, so please remember
Love, lay your head on my weary shoulder
I can hear those battle drums
Love, say a prayer for your little soldier
If tomorrow never comes
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’m going away and it won’t be long
I’m already gone
I’m facing a great unknown, on my own, her I go
Hold me closer till this is over, then
Love, lay your head on my weary shoulder
I can hear those battle drums
Love, say a prayer for your little soldier
If tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes
