"Keep The Home Fires Burning" lyrics

"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
