But now, she Fstands upon Southampton dock
With her Bbhandkerchief

[Verse 1]

They disembarked in 45

And no one spoke and no one smiled

C F

There were too many spaces in the line

And gathered at the cenotaph

All agreed with hand on heart

C F

To sheath the sacrificial knives

But now, she stands upon Southampton dock

With her handkerchief

And her summer frock clings

To her wet body in the rain

In quiet desperation

Knuckles white upon the slippery reins

C F

She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
