Oh, oh, oh (x8)
[Verse 1]
Skippin' stones down by the river
You were sitting all alone
Threw my arm around you, girl
And called you my own
And we were both young and naive, we
Just didn't know
Spring don't last forever, babe
I've gotta go
And say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Off to war and back again, girl
You've stayed right here
I've told you a thousand stories
And you whispered in my ear
But I just couldn't steal the moment
With the ringing in my ear
It brings me back
Brings me back, brings me back
Oh, oh, oh (x8)
[Verse 3]
With the war raids overhead, my love
All that I can think
Is I'll be coming home some day
This ship will never sink
I'll be sailing straight on through the night
Half across the world
To see my girl
See my girl, beautiful girl
Ooh, Ha (x3)
Ooh (x3)
