Old man, looking out to the sea This time he's leaving Windswept hair and strong old bones Now gently fading, no longer sailing Oh, many years ago Can you remember The haunting cries of a ship that drowned Beneath the ice flow of the Weddell sea Times were hard, but we made it over Made it over, they wonder why Through the cold, but we made it over Made it over, they'll never know Two years, trapped in the Southern sea (in the southern sea) Far from our homeland Roaring waves and wailing wind They won't defeat us Though storms are high Oh, please tell me why Tell me why we're most forgotten Far away from a world at war Who needs a hero? (who needs a hero) Who needs to know? Times were hard, but we made it over Made it over, they wonder why Through the cold, but we made it over Made it over, they'll never know Why, why, did we have to come home to war Why, why, why Try, try, tell me what are we fighting for Try, try, try Then on the red fields of Flanders All the men were fallen A bloody war fought on every shore Brought pain and sorrow For the sailing man But I still hear the steam whistle blowing 'Twas the day of heartbreak Windswept tears and heartfelt cheers Now long forgotten We made it over Times were hard, but we made it over Made it over, they wonder why Through the cold, but we made it over Made it over, they'll never know Why, why, did we have to come home to war Why, why, why Try, try, tell me what are we fighting for Try, try, try Why, why, did we have to come home to war Why, why, why Try, try, tell me what are we fighting for Try, try, try We made it over We made it over
