A Letter Home from the Front

And I have laid thee down my love,

In a bed of silk and lace,

And a garland for your hair my love,

And a warm wind for your face,

And I would give you ships my love,

And stars to guide you by,

But will not watch us growing old,

And you will not see me die.

I will not say farewell my love,
But only bid adieu,
As I will always be, my love,

Somewhere close to you,

I will be the warm winds, love,

That dry away your tears,

And I will be forever yours,

Forever,

Through the years.
