Beat The Retreat

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
