We took a boat over Lake Geneva. |
| [01:16.50] |
It was raining all night long, |
| [01:20.16] |
We were lucky and we saw no enemy, |
| [01:23.55] |
And came from Switzerland poor refugees, |
| [01:27.54] |
Far from the guns of war, |
| [01:32.76] |
We said goodbye to it all; |
| [01:37.86] |
They brought us in to a nurse's station, |
| [01:41.73] |
Half a mile behind the lines, |
| [01:43.74] |
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking, |
| [01:49.14] |
To see the children, and the walking wounded, |
| [01:53.37] |
Hoping for a ticket home, |
| [01:57.33] |
And say goodbye to it all; |
| [02:04.53] |
I woke up on a cold blue morning, |
| [02:07.08] |
To see her there, standing right beside me, |
| [02:10.71] |
Long years since I left her at the borderline, |
| [02:15.21] |
And how she found me I'd never know, |
| [02:19.08] |
But we decided there and then, |
| [02:20.91] |
To say goodbye to it all; |
| [02:24.27] |
Say goodbye to it all, |
| [02:24.78] |
Say goodbye to it all.... |
| [02:49.23] |
Took a train from Paris to the ocean, |
| [02:52.47] |
Found a small hotel by the coast, |
| [02:56.76] |
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy, |
| [03:01.89] |
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold, |
| [03:04.08] |
And whispered a prayer for the boys, |
| [03:06.09] |
Who said goodbye to it all; |
| [03:09.51] |
Now we've got our own place by the water, |
| [03:18.06] |
And I have a job in the old hotel, |
| [03:22.29] |
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter, |
| [03:25.65] |
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice. |
| [03:29.79] |
We've got all the time in the world, |
| [03:34.44] |
We said goodbye to it all, |
| [03:35.76] |
We said goodbye to it all. |
| [03:37.89] |
Say goodbye to it all, |
| [03:39.00] |
Say goodbye to it all, |
| [03:39.81] |
Say goodbye to it all, |
| [04:10.29] |
Say goodbye to it all. |
