lyrics

Your Soldier, Your Lover, Your King

At the end of the war
Wait for me by the shore
And I’ll leave my pistol and rifle afloat
And as I watch for your flame
I’ll forever remain
Your Soldier, Your Lover, Your King

But if the flowers don’t grow
And the rivers don’t flow
And the wounds of this world don’t heal
Well I’ll sing once again
And forever remain
Your Soldier, Your Lover, Your King

As this heartache prevails
There’s no wind to these sails
And the blessed still leaves me alone
But as I grieve for your smile
And dream for awhile
I’ll never be cold or alone

And as the gun fire reigns
The crimson blood stains
And the wind batters strong on the fields
I’ll sing once again
And forever remain
Your Soldier, Your Lover, Your King

As I lie here tonight
I grow close to the light
But the pain no longer prevails
There’s a warming in my heart
As we’ll never be apart
Your Solder, Your Lover, Your King

Wherever I am
I’ll always see your light
Send me your love
And I’ll always see your light
