The burning, the bleeding The lifetime spent retreating The black eyes, the white lights The love that will not die Now the dreams bring troubled sleep So keep them away Stretched along the road too thin By too many days Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Could keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Could keep me away He won't give, he must live He cannot give into this His blood cold, he craves home The weary soldier crawls Now the dreams bring troubled sleep So keep them away Stretched along the road too thin By too many days Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Could keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Can keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Would keep me away Take me home Southland's calling my name Neither love nor man nor law Won't keep me away Neither love nor man nor law Won't keep me away
