Prompt / Lyrics
Closing my eyes and I can’t sleep Every time I close my eyes I miss you more with each passing day Every single letter you write I hang on each and every word You’ve struck with your pen It saves me from the memories of what I’ve done with my rifle and bayonet It gave me strength as I lead today’s charge with a resounding roar I held a dying buddy in my arms after He begged me to read his bloody bible and tell his wife not to forget him This isn’t fair at all I just wish to be home I just wait for a call I long for your touch I long for your lips pressed against mine I’m laying in this cold foxhole All alone and waiting for you to lay on my chest Bombs bursting over my head instead Machine guns and gas Men tangled in agony in hardwire is all I get I miss the way our eyes lock I miss your breath upon my neck I miss your warm embrace I really need you I feel empty and alone I know your tethered to my soul by our red string I know It doesn’t change the fact your so far away Craving your touch I’m wasting away without your love So I choose strength I wish I could be home Laughing and dancing with you Till the sun burns our eyes And our cups are dry I miss being in our garden I miss your soft smile greeting me after a long day in our fields I miss walking in our door To your welcoming arms and soft caressing hands upon my face I can’t wait for the journey to be done I can’t wait for the return from this long voyage to foreign lands My minds collapsing My soul is starving My love is growing My love I dream of you when I sleep It helps me escape my duties It’s a splendor and beauty That keeps me driven I awake to a reality I didn’t ask for but need to do More than anything I just want you to know that I need you Just you Me and you We will make our dreams come true
