A Soldier's Farewell

I'll see you in my dreams my dear I'll keep you in my heart, I'll think of you each day I live Each second we're apart, I pray my kiss upon the wind Shall like an arrow fly, And part the clouds that gather In this dark and stormy sky. Yet through the battle's roar I'll hear The sweetest song of love, And it shall drown those screams and cries Like raindrops from above, May they fall in notes of silver On the fields now stained with blood, And douse the fiery flames of hell That burn within the mud. Farewell my love for I must go And leave our sacred shore, To fight for King and country In this God-forsaken war, I hope that soon I shall return If I could have my way, Then peace would live again And I would be with you this day.
