Tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

Counted every moment we're apart

It's been five long years since you've been here

Tie a yellow ribbon

Beyond the realm of dignity

Beyond imagination, please forgive me

How long, how long, how long, how long will it be?

It's a tragedy

Tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

Counted every moment we're apart

It's been five long years since you've been here

Tie a yellow ribbon

What happened to humanity?

There is no understanding such insanity

Hold on, hold on, hold on please if you can

In that troubled land

Tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

Counted every moment we're apart

It's been five long years since you've been here

Tie a yellow ribbon round your heart
