Love Vigilantes

I've just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
Well our soldiers so brave, your freedom we must save
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home, it's been so long you see

Well you just can't believe the joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky, my convictions they won't lie
For my country I would die and I will see it soon

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home, it's been so long you see

When I walked through that door, my wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore but I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw that telegram
It said I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home, it's been so long you see
