The Siegfried Line
BILLY JOEL
Oh, the guns are silent on the Western wall
And we clean the rifles
That we never use 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 '44
But a long-time soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old on the Siegfried Line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over
Oh, woah home, home
We will be home in the summer no, no
Oh, we line the 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, woah home, home
We will come home in the summer no, no
