Soldier’s Lament

Watch the sidewalk end

Waitin’ for a friend to come

Raindrops wash away

Memories of your face

And all I can do is wait

I see you in my head

When I lay down on my bed tonight

I await the day

I return from far away

Coming home to see your face

Every other day

I take a leap of faith

And face my fears

Bullets crack above

But I’m fighting for my love

So I can return to you my love
