Soldier's Song

Dew soaked leaves 

tangled in your hair. 

Moss sweet bed 

to lie without a care.

Wait for me here, my sweet, 

wait for me here.

River of mirror stones

laughs its mirth for you. 

Birds, in the trees,

chime a note or two.

Wait for me here, my sweet

Wait for me here 

I’ll be coming, coming, 

coming back for you.

I’ll make you a bed,

big enough for two. 

Wait for a while, love

Wait, I’ll be back soon. 

See here, this sword

I brought it back for you. 

From war, and now 

It served its master true.

And now I’ll be coming, love

coming home to you.

I’ll be coming, coming

coming back to you. 

I’ll make you a bed

of mossy earth for two.

Wait for a while, love 

Wait, soon I’ll be with you.
