Dead And Gone

Time’s come now at last

Let all that’s passed be past

You’ve been wandering, lost in a dream

Only a dream

I’ll watch over you

I’ll always watch over you

Down that winding lane I stand

Near the sun kissed fields of home

There’s hope and there is joy

There’s love for the soldier-boy

All he has to do is let it go

Turn around and come home

The shadows come and gone

Rise now and greet the dawn

Let the memories of sorrow and fear

Fall away

There’s hope and there is joy

There’s love for the soldier-boy

All he has to do is let it go

Turn around and come home

There's a girl who’s waiting just for you

But you can’t bring the darkness with you

Let it go, just leave it all behind

Oh, the rushing streams and skies of blue

Oh, the fields of summer call to you

Oh, the rushing streams and skies of blue

There are scars

Some heal, some don’t

And people stare but that can’t bring you down

And somedays you’ll be laughing and other times you won’t

But either way the sun’s still shining

I hear distant drums

Rumors of war yet to come

Come back to me, get some rest while you can

And smile, smile again

There’s hope and there’s joy

There’s love for the soldier-boy

All he has to do is let it go

Turn around and come home

I’m staying right here where I am

I’m never gonna leave

Please my love, forget I ever lived

I’m dead

Dead and gone
