Lyrics The Siegfried Line - Billy Joel

The Siegfried Line

All the guns are silent on the Western wall
And they cleaned the rifles that we never use it all
And we’re writing letters just to pass the time
And the days go by on The Siegfried Line
Oh, they say the English have given up the war
And we heard the Russians won’t last through '44
But a longtime soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old on The Siegfried Line
Soon, soon
They say the war will be over, oh, oh Home, home
We will be home in the summer, no, no Oh, we light the campfire and we drank the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink French wine
And they feed us well on The Siegfried Line
Soon, soon
They say the war will be over, oh, oh Home, home
We will come home in the summer, la, la
