"Two Soldiers Coming Home" lyrics - LORI MCKENNA

I'm sitting in 12B
I got a window seat
All I wanted was a couple hours sleep

A woman's voice came on
The intercom
She said "let's hear a round of applause for"

Two soldiers coming home
Returning to their families
They've been away from the so long
There's going to be some flags waving
Probably see some tear stained faces
By the grace of God
They made it home

We all clapped our hands
Some stomped their feet
Then returned to their books and magazines

A few rows ahead
I saw his uniform
Then she said again "Come on let's hear it for"

When that plane landed
We watched one soldier leave
But the second soldier we never got to see
An army band was playing
By a long black limousine

Two soldiers coming home
Returning to their families
They've been away from the so long
There's gonna to be some flags waving
And some tear stained faces
Oh the journeys over for two soldiers
Coming home
