Soldiers marching up and down my street
Chain me from the gifts you gave to me
They don't want me seeing you this time of night
But I can't imagine doing this alone
My bedroom has the scent of your hair and your scarf
And there's no way I'll keep quiet this evening
Making my move I avoid the creaks
On the wood where the floorboards finally became weak
And I know this house like the back of my hand
And I hope that tonight it will bring us together again
I'm sneaking outside my back door
Just to see the smile your face held before
Before these months brought such wear to our hands
It seems rough seas will last and we'll never get back to land
But just when it's time to give up my hope
Tall trees apear and a hand with a rope
The hand we thought would betray us all along
Has finally given up and joined us in our song
All the soliders will be on our side
All the soldiers are turning to our side
You deserve a better life than this
And all this captain can do is reward you with a kiss
But sometimes it doesn't seem to be enough
And this is only when the seas get too rough
But we discuss our plans and future sails
While gazing out and holding the rail
And it now becomes the most romantic of tales
And I now grab your hand as your hair is blown by the gail
Tonight no soldiers will stop me
No soldiers will discourage me
And if they happen to chain me, if just for a while
I will go into detail about your smile
The one that I don't see often anymore
And they will understand and show me the door
I'll leave them with a feeling of love to cut straight to their core
They'll understand they've not thought right before
And they will trust us
And they will trust
