The Last Farewell Lyrics

Cover art for The Last Farewell lyrics by Roger Whittaker

Beautiful song. I interpret it as a soldier who has been deployed, perhaps in the Philippines, and will obviously now be on the front lines. If he lives through this battle, he will continue to be a soldier, but will now be back in England. I feel that he is saying farewell to the beautiful island where he has been deployed.
