Seven Days And Six Nights
By Tom Wilson & Owen Hovedon
He’s served his time with honor
Longer than his share
Perfume scented words remind him
Someone back home cares
One more week,… to be strong
She’s waiting by the phone
Seven days and six more nights
Before he comes back home
Chorus:
Home is where he’ll find her waiting
Anxious by the door
With open arms, no hesitating
Soon he’ll fight no more
Home is where his weary eyes
Can sit down from the race
Seven days and six nights
Until he sees her face
Another day is dawning
In a distant foreign land
A roadside blast now breaks the silence
On the desert sand
A phone call half a world away
Awakes a peaceful sleep
A young bride learns upon this day
His promise he wont keep
Chorus:
Home is where they’ll find her waiting
Anxious by the door
With shattered dreams and broken heart
Now he fights no more
Home is where his weary eyes
Are closed but not alone
Seven days and six more nights
Until he comes back home
