When A Soldier Knocks

I’m alone with all my sorrow

It’s so hard to face tomorrow

Cause I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

 

I have asked the next door neighbor

What you packed and went away for

But they’d only say you don’t live here no more

 

When I sailed across the blue

I thought I could count on you

But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you’ve gone

 

What a sorry sight to see dear, what a shame you couldn’t be here

When a soldier knocks and finds nobody home

When I sailed across the blue

I thought I could count on you

But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you’ve gone

 

What a shame you couldn’t be here, what a sorry sight to see dear

When a soldier knocks and finds nobody home
