lyrics

Downfalling

My mother’s hair was jet black when I left home,
When I returned it was lily-white,
For six long years not a penny for my pains,
And still this story repeats again.

We sailed to France on the Duke of Argyle,
We waved goodbye, I’d be gone a long while,
And we arrived hungry and tired,
But ready to face the coming tide.

Chorus: The bombs are falling down
The bombs are falling down
The bombs are falling down
They’re falling
Down oh.

At home waiting my family my wife,
Wondering the fate of their dear soldier’s life,
And these words on this matchbox can’t tell of my strife,
But I’ll be brave.
I’ll be brave.

I lay wounded, my friend next to me,
He said, “Steve, we’re finished”
His head falls to the ground.
He never spoke again to me.
He never spoke again to anyone.

Chorus

Down, they’re falling down, they’re falling
Down, they’re falling down, they’re falling
Down, they’re falling down, they’re falling
Down, they’re falling down.

My mother’s hair was jet black when I left home,
When I returned it was lily-white,
For six long years not a penny for my pains,
And still this story repeats again.
