Iron and Wine - Love Vigilantes

Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun

I want to see my family

With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save

From a war that must be won in the name of truth

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see

Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead

I want to see my family

I want to see my family

Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram

For my country I would die, and I will see it soon

My wife and child waiting for me

When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor

And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why

And I want to see my family

My wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see

With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

My wife and child waiting for me

You just can't believe the joy I did receive

When I finally got my leave and I was going home

Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie
