Home To Come Back To

I dreamed of her for three long years
Her hair, her laugh, the salt of tears
I counted days on trench walls deep
And swore the promise I would keep

The train pulled in at dawn again
I walked the streets I knew back then
But every corner seemed too wide
Like I was walking from outside

I knocked the door — a stranger’s voice
Said, “He’s been gone. You had no choice.”
My father’s grave, a modest stone
The life he lived and died alone

There’s no home to come back to
No porch light left to guide me through
The friends I had have sailed away
The girl I loved has changed her name
So I’ll go back to where I’m known
The only place I’ve ever owned —
The cold, the mud, the endless grey
I’m just a soldier anyway

I found her at the old caf;
A ring, a child, a different name
She smiled polite, she shook my hand
Like I was born in foreign land

I tried to laugh with those I knew
But every laugh I made fell through
They talked of jobs and new-built homes
I was a ghost among their stones

One said, “Man, you have changed a lot”
I answered, “War is what I’ve got”
He looked away, he didn’t ask
What was my mission or a task

There’s no home to come back to
No porch light left to guide me through
The friends I had have sailed away
The girl I loved has changed her name
So I’ll go back to where I’m known
The only place I’ve ever owned —
The cold, the mud, the endless grey
I’m just a soldier anyway

I packed my bag before the dawn
No letter left, no one to mourn
The train that brought me takes me back
To soldier 's life with its drawbacks

The barracks smell, the rifle’s weight
The brother’s bond I didn’t fake
They didn’t ask me where I’d been
Just saying: “Welcome home again”

There’s no home to come back to
But I found one in the muddy boots
The men who stand beside me still
Are only ones who ever will
So let the other world move on
I’ve found my place before the dawn
The cold, the mud, the endless grey
I’m just a soldier — and I’ll stay

The train pulls out, I’m on it now
No tears to cry, no sacred vow
The war is home, the war is me
And that’s the only way to be

…soldier.
