Thomas North - Soldier's Song Lyrics

I don't know if this letter
Will reach you
My love
But I write it anyway

Well whether tomorrow
Or today
The heavens will call
My name

And you were right what you said
The night that I left
Honour is not worth
Dying for

But now here I am
With a gun in my hands
Writing you from the dark edge
Of the world

And what haunts my heart
As I wait for the charge
Is to think of you
In another man's arms

That its him now who
Will know your touch
Your secret silhouette
Your kind of love

And every Armistice Day
You will think how strange
The promises that we
Once made

Well I guess it can take
A war sometimes
For a man to know
His mind

But I hear the bells ring
And the boys start to sing
By dawn
They'll be ghosts in the wind

O the bell it has rung
So the time it has come
And here at the end
You're all that I want

O the bell it has rung
So the time it has come
And here at the end
You're all that I want
