I Won't Be Here When You Get Home - Danny Wilson

They say that everytime a mission bell rings

Somewhere up above us all

An angel gets his wings

Now theyr’e falling from the skies

Watch, a mother raise her son

And see him grow

Then catch a passing star

And leave her standing on her own

But her love can never die

If this is true then I wanna know why

I won’t be here when you get home

To waltz into my arms

When all our willing sins have been gone

The worst of all is ignorance

And missing your chance

If all is fair in love and war

But no-one wins

Or every second someone dies

And someones life begins

Then I wonder which is true

They say that if your’e young at heart

You can’t grow old

And youth cannot be bought

With what you jingle or you fold

Are we rich or are we poor

I still don’t know and I wanna be sure

I won’t be here when you get home

To waltz into my arms

When all our willing sins have been gone

The only sin is ignorance

And missing your chance

Of all the things we know and don’t

And can’t decide

The truth cannot be bought with what we

Gamble or divide

Neither can it be denied

And if this is true then i wanna know why

So I won’t be here when you get home

To waltz into my arms

When all our willing sins have been gone

The only sin is ignorance

And missing your chance
