Lyrics

ONLY A SOLDIER KNOWS

We lay in the cool cool grass
Your body next to mine
Fireworks on the Fourth of July
Now the fire of war lights up the sky

I feel your fingers touchin? me
They run across my skin
I can see you there
In the the warm summer air
From this cold place I?m sittin? in

CHORUS: I reach across the distance
And dream that I am home
Just how much I need you now
ONLY A SOLDIER KNOWS
ONLY A SOLDIER KNOWS

I read your letters again and again
Your scent is in every line
It brings me back to those innocent days
When we discovered love in a timeless time

I drove you home in that beat-up old Ford
That sometimes would not start
We laughed out loud
At a thunderin? cloud
Swore that nothin? could keep us apart
{REPEAT CHORUS}

I?ve seen things noone should have to see
I?m tryin? to hold on tight
You?re with me
When I?m lost at sea
You?re my lighthouse in the night
{REPEAT CHORUS}
