|
No borderline, no borderline... |
|
Took a boat over |
|
Lake Geneva, |
|
It was raining all night long, |
|
We were lucky and we saw no enemy, |
|
And came from |
|
Switzerland, poor refugees, |
|
Far from the guns of war, |
|
We said goodbye to it all; |
|
They brought us in to a nurse's station, |
|
Half a mile behind the lines, |
|
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking, |
|
To see the children, and the walking wounded, |
|
Hoping for a ticket home, |
|
And say goodbye to it all; |
|
I woke up on a cold blue morning, |
|
To see her there, standing right beside me, |
|
Long years since |
|
I left her at the borderline, |
|
And how she found me |
|
I'll never know, |
|
But we decided there and then, |
|
To say goodbye to it all; |
|
To it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all; |
|
Took a train from |
|
Paris to the ocean, |
|
Found a small hotel by the coast, |
|
As we walked along the beaches of |
|
Normandy, |
|
We came to |
|
Juno, Omaha and |
|
Gold, And whispered a prayer for the boys, |
|
Who said goodbye to it all; |
|
Now we've got our own place by the water, |
|
And I have a job in the old hotel, |
|
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter, |
|
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice, |
|
We've got all the time in the world, |
|
We said goodbye to it all, |
|
We said goodbye to it all; ' |
|
Bye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye to it all, |
|
Say goodbye, |
|
Say goodbye... |
