Father, it's time to leave
Tears on my face
And on your sleeve

And on your shoulder
I'm going down
In uniform

I'm going down
I'm going down
In uniform


Mother, it's time to go
The days will be long

And go too slow
But I'll think of you
As I go down

In uniform

You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon

Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face
The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper
It's a funny old world

It's a funny old human race

Little sister, you look so good

I feel proud of you
I knew I would
We'll be together

As we go down
In uniform
We're going down

We're going down
In uniform


You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon
Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face
The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper

It's a funny old world
It's a funny old human race


You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon
Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face
The cars on the highway are backed up and bumper to bumper

It's a funny old world
It's a funny old human race
