When the cold wind blows

In the early morning march
With a field pack on my bag
With an aching in my heart
And my palms are full of sweat
I'm a long long way from home
And I miss my lover so
In the early morning march
When the cold wind blows.

When the cold wind blows
When the cold wind blows
When the cold wind blows
When the cold wind blows

In the early morning shoot
With a rifle in my hands
With an aching in my heart
and my palms are full of sweat
I'm a long long way from home
And I miss my lover so
In the early morning shoot
When the cold wind blows

In the early morning jump
With a parachute on my back
With an aching in my heart
And my palms are full of sweat
I'm a long long way from home
And I miss my lover so
In the early morning jump
When the cold wind blows.

In the early morning row
With a paddle in my hand
With an aching in my heart
And my paddle's very wet.
I'm a long long way from home
And I miss my lover so
in the early morning row
When the cold wind blows.
