We're leaving home this weekend on an aeroplane We won't be here on Monday when it starts again Go get 'em boys, go get 'em girls The family will be bigger when you return The people waving flags don't understand What it's like to have a world in your hands Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me Every night I go to sleep and have the same two dreams Wonder what I see, the people, they don't look like me In the second dream, I'm lying on my own in a field There are people waiting at home for us Holding flowers, they'll be standing at the gate for us There are people waiting at home for us Keeping a picture at the bedside just of us I wake up every morning on the edge of fear I'm writing out a postcard, I wish you were here Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me Every night I cannot sleep 'cause of the things I've seen I try to treat me coming home Back to a place where I belong Where the sound of shells is gone And where I wouldn't have to sing this song There are people waiting at home for us Holding flowers, they'll be standing at the gate for us There are people waiting at home for us Keeping a picture by the bedside just of us Threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh They threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh They threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh Threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh Threw a dart at the map and started to laugh
