about

"A song about a soldier dying on the front who will let nothing stop him from seeing his wife again... not even death."

lyrics

I’m all alone in the fields every night, I am waiting
You’re far away fast asleep all alone in your bed
Nine months apart and the war is certain to
bleed me cold...
When I arrive at your door, please don’t greet me with dread.

The horses will ride through the night until you get this letter
My candle is dim and I fear that my ink will run dry
I can't escape but this fate will not stop me from
Finding you...
The way to traverse all those miles is to love and to die.

I will come to haunt you darling
Wipe your tears, no sad departing
If you love me, say we're starting
Over once again...

I will be there in the books, in the pictures and paintings
While you’re asleep, at your side, I’ll be stroking your hair
If you should cry, you will find that my hand's on your
shoulder...
Our future’s secured, rest assured, I will always be there.

I will come to haunt you darling
Wipe your tears, no sad departing
If you love me, say we're starting
Over once again...

Life tarries on, you’ll decide that it’s time to re-marry
Late in the night, I’ll make clear there’s a promise to keep
After all we are ghosts longer than we are
flesh and blood...
I will await by your grave 'til you rise from your sleep

I will come to haunt you darling
Wipe your tears, no sad departing
If you love me, say we're starting
Over once again...
