Evening has a gentle face
On a boat that’s bound for glory
Captain says enjoy the peace
For tomorrow we hit Normandy

I close my eyes
to see your face again
I watch the sun melt

Father fought the First World War
And I keep his medals near me
I wonder what we do it for
And I pray his soul won’t hear me

I close my eyes
to see your face again
I watch the sun melt
Into the sea

The amber waves burn into a sailor’s gaze
They talk of home and sing the songs of old

Heroes here will rise and fall
And the rest will tell their story
Sweet love, I will do my all
But don’t you leave a light on for me

I close my eyes
to see your face again
I watch the sun melt
Into the sea

The amber waves burn into a sailor’s gaze
They talk of home and sing the songs of old
