He'll Come Home

Spoiler

I wrote this with a friend after watching the news. There were stories about how UK soldiers are going to be hopefully pulled out of Iraq and can come home. There have already been stories about troops that have returned home. It's a bit old but I still like it.

She doesn't know why she even bothered
She doesn't see why she should have even started to care
Since all this started tumbling down around her
All she's been thinking of are reasons why he wasn't there.
Then she remembers exactly what he said,
He told her nobody needs to feel this way
Then he held her close and whispered that he'd never leave her
And just watched her cry and stroked her hair.

This could never happen,
She's staring out of the windows
Listening for his footsteps, praying she'll hear his voice
Praying he'll come home,
He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for his turn now, hoping that he'll see her face again
Praying he'll come home.

He doesn't know if he'll even make it
He only knows that he did it so he could show her that he cared
Since the war came to greet him
All he's been thinking of are reasons why he shouldn't be here
Then he remembers exactly how she looked,
The way the tears gathered at the corner of her smile
As he held her close and whispered that he'd never leave her
And just let her cry and ran his fingers through her hair.

This could never happen,
She's staring out of the windows
Listening for his footsteps, praying she'll hear his voice
Praying he'll come home,
He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for his turn now, hoping that he'll see her face again
Praying he'll come home.

She sits alone by the graveside and cries
Wondering why everything has to die
She tears off the ring he gave her and throws it to the floor
'Cause in this world it's not about material things when all she really needs is him
And he lays alone on a stretcher, bones broken and his arm injured
Wondering if he's going to die
He's lost the ring that she gave him, it's fallen to the floor
'Cause nothing like that matters in a war.
And as he lies there, he's trying to say the things he needs to say,
He looks up to the sky and cries.

This could never happen,
She's staring out of the windows
Listening for his footsteps, praying she'll hear his voice
Praying he'll come home,
He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for his turn now, hoping that he'll see her face again
Praying he'll come home.

And as the night falls she's crying herself to sleep
He's slipping into a dream and just before his eyes close he looks to his side
And whispers:
"Sergeant,
This could never happen,
She's staring out of the windows
Listening for my footsteps, praying she'll hear my voice
Praying I'll come home."
And the big, strong military guy cries and rests his hand on that boy's chest
Tells him that he'll get back to her.

This could never happen,
She's staring out of the windows
Listening for his footsteps, praying she'll hear his voice
Praying he'll come home,
He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for his turn now, hoping he'll see her face again
Praying he'll come home.

And late one night,three years later
There's a knock on her door and she opens it to see a tall blue-eyed military guy,
And he sweeps her into his arms and strokes her hair.
He can't wipe the smile off his face, knowing that he's come home
And he can see her again.
He gives her a kiss, and wonders how she could have waited like this,
She's a lot stronger than he'd imagined.
And as he lays asleep that night, he doesn't realise how she's holding on tight
Right onto his hand.
She's re-read his letters time and time again.

They thought this could never happen,
She's been staring out of the windows
Listening for his footsteps, praying she'll hear his voice
Praying he'll come home,
He's been out there somewhere,
Waiting for his turn now, hoping he'll see her face again
Praying he'll come home.​
