Lyrics

I had a dream about the corporal's daughter
She was sneaking off the base to see me
By the tree where bayonets are buried
She made me promise we would never marry

I read about her in a book she wrote me
The corporal's daughter has a way with words
I dream about her in a way she taught me
The corporal's daughter has me dreaming

By the tree where bayonets are buried
She made me promise we would never marry

She has her baby teeth, and hides them in her favorite doll
Breaks every wishbone, wishes big
And keeps them all
Finds a feather
And she flies it home
She never
Goes a place she's ever gone

Your daughter, your daughter
Your daughter, your daughter

Love your daughter
Love your daughter
Love, I love
