Born in '39 when the world war came You had bigger wars to fight Had a sister too who was just the same She was lost that night when you lost your light oooh Can't give up though you're dead inside Think of all the people close Far more pain than you could ever hide Now it took too much, now it took too much oooh Hold my hands Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Hold my hands Don't leave me now Don't leave me now You gave so much to your family Made us all feel safe and sound And we tried with love our best cavalry Watched you fade away and at last set free oooh I followed you down to the flood once more Watched you sail off with that sister of yours Reached the horizon but I had to stay Hope we'll all unite on that boat one day I followed you down to the flood once more Watched you sail off with that sister of yours Reached the horizon but I had to stay Hope we'll all unite on that boat one day Hold my hands We're leaving now We're leaving now Hold my hands We're leaving now We're leaving now Hold my hands We're leaving now We're leaving now Hold my hands We're leaving now We're leaving now I followed you down to the flood once more Watched you sail off with that sister of yours Reached the horizon but I had to stay Hope we'll all unite on that boat one day I followed you down to the flood once more Watched you sail off with that sister of yours Reached the horizon but I had to stay
