Beat The Retreat Testo

(Richard Thompson) I'm beating my retreat Back home to you I'm beating my retreat Back home to you I'm burning all my bridges I'm burning all my bridges I'm burning all my bridges I'm running back home to you I'm trailing my colours Back home to you I'm trailing my colours Back home to you This world is filled with sadness This world is filled with sadness This world is filled with sadness I'm running back home to you I'll follow the drum Back home to you I'll follow the drum Back home to you There was no joy in my leaving There was no joy in my leaving There was no joy in my leaving I'm running back home to you
