Sailing Home For Christmas lyrics
Song information
Artist: Doug Stone Album: The First Christmas
Lyrics
They looked out their windows at the ocean that surrounds them In the service of their country, sailing to a foreign shore Tomorrow will be christmas, and they wish that they could be home Their wives and children need them, but their country needs them more
But they'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Sailing home for christmas in their dreams
Tomorrow, they'll serve turkey and they'll sing the christmas carols They'll talk about their families, their mothers and their sons It's the strangest condradiction, singing songs of peace and sharing As they man the battle stations, hoping war will never come
But they'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Sailing home for christmas in their dreams
And maybe someday they won't have to be there anymore When we all start to live the things we have christmas for
They'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailing home for christmas, sailing home for christmas Sailing home for christmas in their dreams
