War Is Over 

I’m a long lost boy returning

Home from a bloody war in a far off land

It’s good to see my sisters and my brothers

And the folks I left behind

I’ve seen my share of heroes

Men with broken hearts but I never saw them cry

Battle scarred and weary, many have gone

But me and young Jim survived

I bring peace and I bring joy

I’m a home town boy

And I’m proud of the place I was raised in

I’ve been ten thousand miles

And I’ll stay for a while

And I won’t let no time go a-wasting

War is over, times are changing

I’ll go walking on Sunday morning

Down by the old school yard where I first met Marie

I guess she’s found a new love but I’m hoping she might

Still remember me

l carry that worn out picture

That I took the day I sailed across the sea

I was lost without a trace but life goes on

And I still love Marie

I bring peace and I bring joy

I’m a home town boy

And I’m proud of the place I was raised in

I’ve been ten thousand miles

And I’ll stay for a while

And I won’t let no time go a-wasting

War is over, times are changing
