A Black And White Picture Lyrics
A million miles for every year that you went away
A thousand long winters to know where you lay
I barely remember the soldier that left me
Alone on the docks to serve a king and his country
You're a story untold to me, a name and a face
A black and white picture above a fireplace
A cross to bear just to know where you lay
Heave away, haul away, please come back to me someday
The soldiers returned, I remember the day
I held mothers hand and I saw the parade
The schoolyard, the Christmas, The birthdays alone
These are the times that I faced on my own
You're a story untold to me, a name and a face
A black and white picture above a fireplace
A cross to bear just to know where you lay
Heave away, haul away, please come back to me someday

Heave away, haul away, I hoped you'd come back to me some day
I am waiting for the wind to blow, and sing heave away
Haul away, please come back home
A million miles for every year that you went away
Rest in the green fields where you lay
I'd yearn for the father that I'd never known and sing heave away
Haul away, please come back home
