Lyrics - Home For The Summer
| Home for the summer Home for the summer If the rain falls holding the fog down The major says he'll spare us from the fight And with any luck if the moon comes out The lads'll get some needed rest tonight In the thick of it I still think of you Through fields he ran down to the water's edge The sun threw dancing shadows in her path And now the river swells in those fields of hell And winter brings the aftermath At the end of it I still think of you The general sits upon his horse and says now boys You'll be home for the summer Home for the summer But still we're here to stay For ever and a day You'll be home for the summer Home for the summer And when the sun is chill I'll be thinking of you still |

| You'll be home for the summer Home for the summer But still we're here to stay For ever and a day You'll be home for the summer Home for the summer And when the sun has set Just remember that we met |
