Father, it's time to leave Tears on my face And on your sleeve And on your shoulder I'm going down In uniform I'm going down I'm going down In uniform Mother, it's time to go The days will be long And go too slow But I'll think of you As I go down In uniform You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper It's a funny old world It's a funny old human race Little sister, you look so good I feel proud of you I knew I would We'll be together As we go down In uniform We're going down We're going down In uniform You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper It's a funny old world It's a funny old human race You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper It's a funny old world It's a funny old human race
