Tender Comrade Lyrics - Bragg Billy

What will with do when the war is over, tender comrade 

When we lay down our weary guns 

When we return home to our wives and families 

And look into the eyes of our sons 

What will you say of the bond we had, tender comrade 

Will you say that we were brave 

As the shells fell all around us 

Or that we wept and cried for our mothers 

And cursed our fathers 

For forgetting that all men are brothers 

Will you say that we were heroes 

Or that the fear of dying among strangers 

Tore our innocence and false shame away 

And from that moment on deep in my heart I knew 

That I would only give my life for love 

Brothers in arms in each others arms 

Was the only time that I was not afraid 

What will with do when the war is over, tender comrade 

When we cast off these khaki clothes 

And go our separate ways 

What will you say of the bond we had 

Tender comrade
