Lyrics
Never Coming Home Again
Saw a sepia photograph
From the Great War of old
Proud soldier stands somewhere in France
With another lost story to be told
Edwardian demeanor and manners
Are lost in the modern world
It was their duty to fight for Kaiser or King
And they?re never coming, never coming home again
These old soldiers they never die
They just fade away
Well this one really grabbed my attention
As I stopped in the middle of the day
The last survivors have left us
From the battles of 1916
And all that is left are the memories on the wall
From the war they said would end all wars
They were giving it all for their brothers
Giving it all for their friends
They were lost in the mud of the trenches on the Somme
And they?re never coming, never coming home again
The British Empire where the sun never set
Would never be the same again
?Cause they wiped out a whole generation
On a single warm day in July
They were giving it all for their brothers
Giving it all for their friends
They were lost in the mud of the trenches on the Somme
And they?re never coming, never coming home again
