Laying low in the darkness
|
A long slow pain beats deep in her chest
|
And she wonders if he's safe tonight
|
Or if he's warm enough
|
And she tries to send upon the wind
|
A song of her love
|
|
Well a hundred miles away or more
|
A man learns what he's worth
|
A canon fires his body flies
|
Ashes to the earth
|
Far away something stirs a woman from her sleep
|
Flutters at her windowsill and she begins to weep
|
|
Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning
|
Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone
|
White dove tell my love all there is to say
|
Oh white dove fly fly away
|
|
Well a hundred miles away or more
|
This wind becomes a storm
|
Another soldier closed his eyes
|
And slowly becomes warm
|
Turns his eyes to the sky from where he's laying low
|
There he sees the white dove lying in the snow
|
|
Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning
|
Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone
|
White dove tell my love all there is to say
|
Oh white dove fly fly away
|
