As it is, well, I don't need these boots anymore And I've no further duties to them There's no more work for me Now it's just you and me You're coming home, back to the fold No need to go anymore and I will wait for you Well we feathered our nest and we raised us some kids They grew up so fast, but heaven forbid they'll be so poor Or that they will know war Cos' you're coming home, back to the fold No need to go anymore You're coming home, (waiting for me) back to the fold (Meat and two veg and a nice cup of tea) No need to go anymore and I will wait for you There came a lull and they gave us repreive I packed up my kit and got two weeks leave (Leave the washing on the line to dry) Arrived at the station, walked up Junction Lane You saw me and down came the rain Your bags dropped by your feet - and then you ran to me Cos' you're coming home, (Back from the war)
Back to the fold (When I see you I know what it's for) No need to go anymore You're coming home, (waiting for me) back to the fold (Bacon and eggs and a nice cup of tea) No need to go anymore and I will wait for you As it is, well I don't need these boots anymore And I've no further duties to them There's no more war for me - Now it's just you and me You're coming home - back to the fold No need to go anymore You're coming home As it is, well I don't need these boots anymore Back to the fold And I've no further duties to them There's no more war for us - 'Cos I'm coming home No need to go anymore You're coming home And these are the days that make us who we are Back to the fold And we'll fight for what we believe There's no more war for us 'Cos I'm coming home No need to go anymore And I will wait for . . .
