1939 Returning - 1578357

Captured Clandestine

Crawled into the light

Knew he was in for a shoe-ing

Just wasn't to be his night

Dragged out of the frozen Rhine

For the Motherland

And the third reich

A toe-ing's as good as a shoeing

When it's not to be your night

Your night

Tred carefully

So carefully

Upon the drifting ice

Fought behind enemy lines

In 1939

For Germany

He sacrificed his life

Caught behind enemy lines

In 1939

Kids knee deep in rubble

London urchins grey with dust

Packed off west in evacuation

To farmers wife green and pleasent life

Far from the doodble bugs

Nana doll still remembers

Leaving town in worn-out shoes

Now she's back out west

In sheltered accomodation

Homes for the old

Where pills arent the only blues

Tred carefully

So carefully

On the drifting ice

Staring blank into the tv guide

In 2009

Oh how it's hurting me

I've only seen her twice

Since she went west for the second time

Since 1939
