The soldiers came marching home
The soldiers came marching home
The streets were silent
Not a single drum
As the soldiers came marching home
It had all gone on too long
No one remembered how it started
No one believed it had ended
But they all watched the silent parade
They all watched the silent parade
The afternoon people were there [people were there]
No confetti filled the air [filled the air]
Each one tended their private cares wondering
Is it over again
Is it over again
Is it over again
No one watched the news
Read the papers of the day
Folks were staring out of windows
Nobody shouted hooray
It had all gone on too long
No one remembered how it started
No one believed it had ended
But they all watched the silent parade
They all watched the silent parade
