Lyrics

[00:29.34] There's a hero's tale of a ship that sails
[00:38.97] Under distant stars somewhere far away
[00:47.52] And she's bound for? glory on a foreign shore
[00:57.10] But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war
[01:08.48] Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
[01:17.45] Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
[01:26.29] Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen
[01:35.23] Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again
[01:43.45] So the willows weep and the candles burn
[01:52.53] For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn
[02:01.25] As I tell your story with a thankful heart
[02:10.15] You are always in our thoughts though we're worlds apart
[02:21.85] Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
[02:30.80] Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
[02:39.56] Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen
[02:48.42] Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again
[02:58.69] Where are you
[03:03.06] Somwhere far away
[03:08.66] We miss you more with each new day
[03:17.19] Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
[03:26.31] Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
[03:35.13] Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen
[03:44.10] Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again
[03:53.49]
