a song—folk—key of A
when his body has been through the ocean
a gift from a TV screen
when he finally reaches his homeland
a time to cheer, a time to rise
and a time let his children know
that daddy's here, daddy's alive
but he's eaten up by the snow
take it as news, we take it as life.
then we turn off the light and we say goodnight
a woman welling with tears
is a sight for the tired and weary
when she's show spilling her fears
it makes the troubles we face less dreary
a time to drink, a time to think
that her son will grow up right
from his mommy's eyes, his mommy's wink
he knows that his future's bright
take it as news, we take it as life.
then we turn off the light and we say goodnight
when the car ride's over for us
we get out to stretch our legs for now
until we cramp in the omnibus
to sightsee in our town
take it as news, we take it as life.
then we turn off the light and we say goodnight
