The Last Farewell Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pinkat 

Cover art for The Last Farewell lyrics by Roger Whittaker

I know that the song is about leaving a country you love dearly to fight a war, but my (now ex-) boyfriend sand this to me the last time I saw him, after we had broken up, and it broke my heart. So I understand the whole song is about a country, but it has another special meaning to me, too.

Shoulda hung onto that BF. Rare that a man would go that deep. Are you sure he wasn't going to Iraq?
