Keep The Home Fires Burning

Can I stay at your house?

I'll sleep on the floor

My home is war zone

I've no stomach for more

You can't hold a candle

To what I saw today

More than I can handle

So I'm running away

Home fires burn

Scorching a hole through me

And I am welcome no more

It's the harrowing story

Of one man's mistakes

And the names have been left out

For the innocents' sake

That man who would save us

From the hurt the world brings

Neglected to mention

Who would save us from him?

And those home fires burn

Scorching a hole through me

It's like the third degree

And I am welcome no more

Now I've no one to turn to

I guess I'm at my wits end

I'm beginning to learn who

Are really my friends

And those home fires burn

Scorching a hole through me

It's like the third degree

And I am welcome no more

Home fires burn

Scorching a hole through me

It's like the third degree

And I am welcome no more
