about

Inspired by the letters written by Reg Hird to his sweet heart Nellie Dean, two years ago, I wrote this song for them.

lyrics

Called to battle far from home
Filled with confidence and pride
'til my friends lay dead
or dying by my side

But soon I'll say
Goodbye William Massey
No more khaki for me
so

Take me back to Karamea
Someone waits for me there
'n' I've only one thing I will ask
When I'm with my sweetest love at last

I learned that peace comes at a price
In the mud and the suffering
Death leaves no time for heartbreak
It's the normal thing

But soon I'll say
Goodbye William Massey
No more khaki for me
so

Take me back to Karamea
Someone waits for me there
'n' I've only one thing I will ask
When I'm with my sweetest love at last

Take me back to Karamea
Someone waits for me there
'n' I've only one thing I will ask
When I'm with my sweetest love at last
When I'm with my sweetest love at last
When I'm with my sweetest love at last
