Tom are you listening to me, how your letters set me free and spur me on
Mar, many thanks for your advice, the cake was very nice, please send some tea
As we march into this town, dark shadows in the window
Your photo in my pocket, next to me
And my boots upon cold stone, so alone
Please keep the home fires burning for me
Jo though you begged me not to go, I’m a long, long way from home and missing you
Par, these days I often think of you, and that smile I never knew, look down on me
But when all is said and done, this war it must be won
And we are fighting for our children to be free
And for all the folks back home, home sweet home
Please keep the home fires burning for me
Sam, help your mother while you can, one day you’ll be a man, so young and free
Tom, lost out here we are the few, my heart cries out for you, don’t follow me
As we lay upon the ground, with birdsong all around
Hear whispering of children in the breeze
And all the guns are silent now, remember how
To keep the home fires burning for me

Singer songwriter from the Heart of England with a box full of old and new songs on a mission to understand the art of recording and mixing. Most started life on my trusty Martin acoustic and have been played live but never been given the luxury of being recorded. I suspect am gonna be at this for quite a while!
