Fourteen Days

It's nearly time to head for home Cockpits dark I see the lights Pilot radios words that we don't want to hear There's an enemy stuck on our rear Parachute on my back Time to abandon this craft Pull the chord and cross my fingers and toes Jump out into the cold unknown Falling Will I make it out alive? Falling Will I ever be alright? Surely, I'll make it I'll make it won't I? Sit on the muddy ground Distant dog bark welcomes me Walk slowly to the flickering light An old door welcomes me in tonight They change my airman's jacket So I won't be recognised The fear is creeping into my mind Good luck now follow the old rail line Walking Will I make it out alive Walking Will I ever be alright? Surely, I'll make it I'll make it won't I? Oh oh oh oh the days rolled into one Oh oh oh oh the lonely nights were so long For 14 days I avoided their gaze For 14 days I've made back to the line Somehow still alive But they didn't think that I would survive The Caterpillar club is my prize Oh oh oh oh the days rolled into one Oh oh oh oh the lonely nights were so long For 14 days I avoided their gaze For 14 days
