Tommy is leaving for the war tells the story of a father saying goodbye to his son before he is deployed to Afghanistan. The song describes the anguish of a fathers struggle to remain strong while his heart is breaking inside.
Tommy is leaving for the war
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
I think of the words I didn't say to you
I think of your thoughts I didn't share with you
You must go and I must stay
part of me goes with you on this day
Tommy is leaving for the war
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
The time that we have is coming to an end
I summon my strength for you and just pretend
I read the thoughts upon your face
how I wish that I could take your place
Tommy is leaving for the war
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
Where ever you go our thoughts will be of you
and when you come home we will be here for you
uncertain times are soon to come
be sure of this you'll always be our son
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
I think of the words I didn't say to you
I think of your thoughts I didn't share with you
You must go and I must stay
part of me goes with you on this day
Tommy is leaving for the war
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
The time that we have is coming to an end
I summon my strength for you and just pretend
I read the thoughts upon your face
how I wish that I could take your place
Tommy is leaving for the war
Tommy is leaving for a foreign shore
rain come down and hide our tears
for we fear we'll not see you again.
Where ever you go our thoughts will be of you
and when you come home we will be here for you
uncertain times are soon to come
be sure of this you'll always be our son
