lyrics

Storm clouds loom like impending doom and lightning terrifies me
Lighting up the sky and I’m wondering why, is there something that I’m meant to see?
Makes me feel so small like I’m nothing at all, a celebration of a reality
And I wonder if I’ll ever see the sunshine again

Keep the home fires burning while I’m gone
Light the fire in my heart that will live on in my song
Always wishing for you to be safe and warm
Whether or not we can weather this storm
And awake to find the morning light has come
Keep the home fires burning while I’m gone

Like machine gun fire the rain came down
Washed the dirt from the streets of this old town
As I wander down them in my dressing gown looking for some kind of sign
Should I return home or keep on walking alone
Fighting against the winds of change that blow
Perhaps I strayed a little too far from the line

Keep the home fires burning while I’m gone
Light the fire in my heart that will live on in my song
I don’t know how long you must wait for me
Maybe even as long as it takes for me
To find out where this rains been coming from
Keep the home fires burning while I’m gone

Torrents of tears from electric skies, I scream “come get me Lord if it’s my time to die”
Wished it before, must have been out of my mind
Ain’t it good to be alive?
Tonight’s a rebirth for the salt of the Earth, those who’ve got soul and who know what it’s worth
Get up get out and dance to your hearts desire

Or keep the home fires burning while I’m gone
I’ll be out in the rain and I won’t be missing the sun
While you’re sat home praying for the rain to stop
I’m dancing in the dark until the very last drop
Has fallen on my head from kingdom come
So keep the home fires burning while I’m gone

Keep the home fires burning while I’m gone
Light the fire in my heart that will live on in my song
Look to the sky each and every night
Until my return to where hearts and fires burn bright
And hope and ray that it doesn’t take long
And keep the home fires burning while I’m gone
