Story behind the song
This one came up during the war in Yougoslavia but it could be anywhere.
Lyrics
146 So long The war is over and he's on his way home, he's been soldiering so long, the dirt road's wet with grey-white snow, the early winter's monochrome. He hardly feels the clammy cold and his thoughts are somewhere else, he drags his strung-out body on that looks quite young but feels age-old. So long, he's been away so very long, so strong, but something calls him home. So long, he's not the man who went away, so wrong, to leave the ones he's loved. The fields untended and the hedges torn, these ugly scars have not yet healed; the land is ragged like his uniform, no war without a battlefield. And everywhere the rusting steel, discarded tools of war, yesterday's pride, now vain and unreal, he won't touch them any more. 13.12.1995
