When the boat comes in, I'll wait for you
With your little son with his eyes so blue
Cause of this war you're far away
Come on home to me, come on home to stay
All the girls in town are so afraid
It'll be too late and they'll have to wait
In loneliness till eternity
Come on home to stay, come on home to me
When the boys come home from across the sea
They'll come home for you and me
United we will all survive
You will see when the boys arrive
When the boys come home from across the land
We'll be happy then again
And peace will be in every heart
In the hope that will never part
And the time has come when we should fight
For peace and love and the human rights
If I love you and you love me
Let's get together, then let's all be free
When the boys come home from across the sea
They'll come home for you and me
United we will all survive
You will see when the boys arrive
When the boys come home from across the land
We'll be happy then again
And peace will be in every heart
In the hope that will never part
When the boys come home from across the sea
They'll come home for you and me
United we will all survive
You will see when the boys arrive
When the boys come home from across the sea
They'll come home for you and me
United we will all survive
You will see when the boys arrive
When the boys come home from across the land
We'll be happy then again
And peace will be in every heart
In the hope that will never part
