First World War
Oh Millie
There’s a loneliness at the front
when the letters don’t come
you can tell the guys that ain’t had one
there’s a look in their eyes of hurt
I can cope with the mud
with the rats and the hun
when I know I’m still in Millie’s heart
but when the letters are late
I get in a state and think she’s in someone else’s arms
Oh Millie I know it sounds silly
but your letters from home are the key
Oh Millie i know it sounds silly
but the photo of you , keeps me safe
There’s a loneliness at the front
when the letters don’t come
Oh Millie I know it sounds silly
but your letters from home are the key
your letters are like gold
and couldn’t be sold
for all the dosh in the world
not having a girl to hold in your mind
can make a man so lonely
Oh Millie I know it sounds silly
but your letters from home are the key
Oh Millie i know it sounds silly
but the photo of you , keeps me safe
Fades
Oh Millie I know it sounds silly
but your letters from home are the key
Oh Millie i know it sounds silly
but the photo of you , keeps me safe
