lyrics

Oh its been seven long years since you went away to fight your war
and for the dying soldiers your coming home to fight no more

The garden gate is open, but the path is overgrown
and the only way of walking to your broken home, is over broken stones,
and the house it needs re-mending, but there is never enough time,
for these seven years of absence, left your mind behind,
they left your mind behind.

Chorus

The flowers they are wilting but the brambles they grow fine,
when Autumn comes along, you will pick the berries to make the wine,
but the fruit it needs fermenting, there's never enough time
for these seven years of absence left your mouth dry, they left your mouth dry

Chorus

The boxes in your front room, they wont unpack themselves,
nor will all of memories, come back to you when you are good with health
your family that's missing, they'll never come your way
for these seven years of torture, they are yours to stay

all the medals that you won, you know full well wont mean a thing x 2

Chorus
