It's nearly time to head for home
Cockpits dark I see the lights
Pilot radios words that we don't want to hear
There's an enemy stuck on our rear
Parachute on my back
Time to abandon this craft
Pull the chord and cross my fingers and toes
Jump out into the cold unknown
Falling
Will I make it out alive?
Falling
Will I ever be alright?
Surely, I'll make it
I'll make it won't I?
Sit on the muddy ground
Distant dog bark welcomes me
Walk slowly to the flickering light
An old door welcomes me in tonight
They change my airman's jacket
So I won't be recognised
The fear is creeping into my mind
Good luck now follow the old rail line
Walking
Will I make it out alive
Walking
Will I ever be alright?
Surely, I'll make it
I'll make it won't I?
Oh oh oh oh the days rolled into one
Oh oh oh oh the lonely nights were so long
For 14 days I avoided their gaze
For 14 days
I've made back to the line
Somehow still alive
But they didn't think that I would survive
The Caterpillar club is my prize
Oh oh oh oh the days rolled into one
Oh oh oh oh the lonely nights were so long
For 14 days I avoided their gaze
For 14 days
