The Battle's doneThe war is wonWe'll send our dead to the deepBeneath the starsWe'll tend our scarsAnd settle down to sleep Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home! It's been a whileAnd many a mileWe've travelled to the foeWe've battled longAnd righted wrongsOr so the story goes Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home! I left behind my one true loveI gave her my soul and heartAnd when I see herI'll kiss her lipsAnd never again will we part Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home!

I listened to this last night Ron but was too beat to comment so I'm back for another listen. First off a great story and the chorus vocals/melody are fantastic and creates a perfect dynamic lift for the song. The acoustic guitar and the octave lead solo are a good choice fit for this style. A fine ballad...did I mention I love everything about the chorus :o).

Used to play in many semi-pro bands in 70s, played bass for David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator) on some of his demo work. Have worked with Trevor Thornton - Drummer (Saxon, Asia), Ray Brookes - Multi instrumentalist and songwriter (Rory Gallagher Band), Kathy Short - Singer/songwriter (Kathy & the Short-List), Fred White - Drummer, Carol Sue - Singer/songwriter and guitarist, Ern and The TrueVulgarian - Singer/songwriters, Paul Rainbird (band mate from early bands) and Ricky Moore (Songwriter and guitarist). Played Windsor free festival on same billing as Hawkwind and met the late great lemmy. In the 80s played in "Shoot the Butler" who released an indie album, cut at Abbey Road. Back to gigging for a while, then the studio for a cassette release called "Final Curtain" by Flix. Wilderness for 10 years,. Now I am back writing and producing my own stuff. Cuts down on band disagreements :D
