When Our Boys Have Been Buried

from St Paul de Vence by St. Paul de Vence

/

lyrics

March with me, march boys, it’s the tenth day of June and it’s over
Dance with me, dance girls, it’s the tenth day of June and it’s over
What can you hear for the morning at last is quiet?
They’ve laid down their weapons and gone home,
but our pain fills this silence

‘Cause our boys have been buried and our girls left alone
but our mothers have suffered the most
while enemies were sworn and lives were torn
they wandered their homes like a ghost

March with me, march boys, it’s the tenth day of June
we’re going home
Dance with me, dance girls, to the bittersweet tune of home
Can a home be again be made a home when for so long left empty
And can a soul be restored a soul when weighed down so heavy

‘Cause our boys have been buried and our girls left alone
but our mothers have suffered the most
while enemies were sworn and lives were torn
they wandered their homes like a ghost
and now they uncork the wine and press linens so fine
so for a moment you won’t see them crying

March with me, march boys, it’s the tenth day of June,
we’re going home
