Billy Joel - The Siegfried Line Lyrics

All the guns are silent on the Western wall
And we clean the rifles that we never used at all
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
And the days go by on the Siegfried line

Oh, they say the English have given up the war
And we heard the Russians won't last through â€~44
But a longtime soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old on the Siegfried line

Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will be home in the summer, no, no


Oh, we are in a campfire and we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink French wine
And they feed us well on the Siegfried line

Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will come home in the summer, la, la
