Keep The Homefires Burning

I'm not the same man

I was a while ago

I've learned some new things,

I hope that it shows.



I'm free to give my love,

But you're not the one

I'm thinking of,

So for me

the wheels are turning

Got to keep

the homefires burning.



I'll walk these borders

In search of a line,

Between young lovers

Who live separate lives.



How long can this go on?

I can hear another song,

Late at night

when I've been drinking

Substitute comes at me winking.

But you're not the one

I'm thinking of.
