What are your dreams like

Do you still even dream

I no longer dream

I have not had a dream

Since I returned home

That was nearly a year ago

And I am beginning to realise

That my war is now over

And that rather strangely

I was one of the lucky ones

Nobody is shooting at me

Nobody desires my death

I am no longer a soldier

I am a free man

Who breathes his own air

And not the dead air of others

It is all over Billy Joe

Everything is now so ordinary

So ordinary that you will cease

To notice it as the years pass by

You have been on a journey

It has been a long journey

Which I thought would never end

It’s been such a long journey Millie Mills
