old man, looking out to the sea
this time he's leaving
windswept hair and strong old bones
now gently fading, no longer sailing
oh, many years ago
can you remember?
the haunting cries of a ship that drowned
beneath the iceflow of the Weddell sea
times were hard, but we made it over
made it over, they wonder why
through the cold, but we made it over
made it over, they'll never know
two years, trapped in the Southern sea
far from our homeland
roaring waves and wailing wind
they won't defeat us
though storms are high
oh, please tell me why
tell me why we're most forgotten
far away from a world at war
who needs a hero?
who needs to know?
times were hard, but we made it over
made it over, they wonder why
through the cold, but we made it over
made it over, they'll never know
why, why, did we have to come home to war?
why, why, why?
try, try, tell me what are we fighting for?
try, try, try?
then on the red fields of Flanders
all the men were fallen
a bloody war fought on every shore
brought pain and sorrow
for the sailing man
but I still hear the steam whistle blowing
'twas the day of heartbreak
windwept tears and hearfelt cheers
now long forgotten
we made it over
times were hard, but we made it over
made it over, they wonder why
through the cold, but we made it over
made it over, they'll never know
why, why, did we have to come home to war?
why, why, why?
try, try, tell me what are we fighting for?
try, try, try?
why, why, did we have to come home to war?
why, why, why?
try, try, tell me what are we fighting for?
try, try, try?
we made it over
we made it over
