Lyrics
Sing a song for the soldier
His love, so far away
And he lives to be with her
He longs for her all day
But the bridges are burned
And there's a river of blood
He depends on what he's learned
Sauntering through the mud
He's got orders to follow,
somewhere to go
In a dream, it was she
No perception of time
Could feel his heart burn
Could hear a wind chime
And they made love so sweet
And although he was dreaming
For a minute he lay
He was with her all night
But she couldn't stay
Then at home on a bench
Alone but free
She sings out a song
So heavenly
Oh, the world is cruel
The world is kind
And they are there where
the light and darkness divide
But they won't stop yearning
And again they unite
When he sleeps under the moon
And she sings in the night
He longs to go home,
She longs for the same
In a dream, it was she
No perception of time
Could feel his heart burn
Could hear a wind chime
And they made love so sweet
And although he was dreaming
For a minute he lay
He was with her all night
But she couldn't stay
