lyrics

Oh my dear when I met you, and you saw me and I saw you
Oh my dear when I met you, I promised you that I’d stay true
Remember when we ran in the rain through the streets to catch our train
Remember how the sun it came up from the hills through my windowpane

But now I’m fighting a war, one I’ll never give my life for
I’m out fighting a war, far from home
I’d rather see our chewed up slippers and the stain on the floor
When I get home please be like it was before

Oh my dear I’ve walked for days, walked through sand and passed by caves
Oh my love never did I save one drop of water for the end of my days
Someday I’ll come home you’ll see, I’ll be with you you’ll be with me
Some day it’ll be you I see, in place of the colonel and the infantry

But I’m out fighting a war, one I’ll never give my life for
I’m out fighting a war, far from home
I’d rather see your pretty face and a wreath on the door
When I get home please be like it was before

Oh my dear why don’t you write, help me sleep alone at night
Oh my dear why don’t you write, when you don’t I’m filled with fright

I’m done fighting a war, one I never gave my life for
I’m done fighting a war, I’m coming back home
I can’t wait to see you with the little one almost four
When I get home please make it like it was before
