about

The true love story of Evie and Tom in 1940's war-torn England.

lyrics

Until The Last Ride

Evie had a beautiful smile
Young Tom had a spark in his eye
They grew up around one another
And got closer as the years passed by
She was a girl from the village
He was a boy from the fields
As soon as they reached the age of consent
He took her aside and he kneeled

Chorus
I swear that I’ll love you forever
You’ll always be here in my heart
No matter what life throws our way
You and I will never part
Please make me the proudest man in the world
By saying you will be my bride
And we can be happy for the rest of our days
Together until the last ride

Tom received his call-up papers
Eve cried and cried for a week
When it was time to say goodbye
There was no need for either to speak
Tom was sent to a strange land
Evie toiled hard in the field
‘Boys remember your homeland
Not a backwards step and no yield!’

Evie she gave Tom a daughter
Just as the war came to end
Tom sailed home across the water
To his family and new home to mend
They lived a life of contentment
Though riches they never did see
But everyday they would remember
When Tom had been down on one knee
