There’s been a lot between us   Such a lot between us   And somehow the road ahead got closed      I left the home of a lifetime   And even now I’d have to walk the same line   Knowing the road ahead will close      I wish I’d stayed when you asked me   But I was so young and carefree   Not knowing that the road ahead could close      chorus:   If only I could face my fear   Then you could wipe away the tear   That’s spent so long on mother’s cheek   Lets raise the flag and sing the song   To keep the home fires burning on   What we have we’ll never give away      So i tried to move a mountain   So many now, that I’ve stopped counting   And always the road ahead is closed      They tried to cover their traces   They lied to hide their faces   But someday their road ahead will close      If only I could face my fear   Then you could wipe away the tear   That’s spent so long on mother’s cheek   Lets raise the flag and sing the song   To keep the home fires burning on   What we have we’ll never give away      Lets raise the flag and sing the song   To keep the home fires burning on   For what we have we’ll never give away         Lets raise the flag and sing the song   To keep the home fires burning on   For what we have we’ll never give away      There’s been a lot between us   Such a lot between us   And somehow the road ahead got closed      I left the home of a lifetime   And even now I’d have to walk the same line   Knowing the road ahead will close      Always the road, always the road
