The war is all done

N’ my rucksack on my back

Won’t weigh no more

‘Threw away my rifle

It felt delightful.

What a sunny day

A gentle breeze carries

The scent of the sea

Combing through my hair

Victory’s in the air

So why

Gaping at the skies

Next to you

So why

Grey clouds in our eyes …

When heavens are blue

When heavens are blue

Still can hear it all

The bugle call

Through the plain is eternal

From afar, the drum roll

Still crushes my soul

Now all has gone quiet:

A trickling stream

Like a dream in the distance …

The flutter of a wing:

A dove is flying

So why

Gaping at the sky

Next to you

So why

Grey clouds in our eyes …

When heavens are blue

When heavens are blue

Who will tell my mum

Who’ll tell my love

Who’ll tell’ my little one

The war is all done

But my flame is gone.
