Tilt

Tilt - Dear Wife lyrics

Your rating:






No my darling have no fear

I'll see you by and by

I trust in my commander 

And my brothers in arms

The chaplain reassures us 

That God is on our side

And I will write you every day

I will keep you informed 



Dear Wife

I can feel you arms about my neck

Life like

The image of you crying at the gate

Dear Wife

Your photo is a shield over my heart

My Life 

Depends on the memory of your face 



We landed on the shore today

No enemy in sight 

We are strong and confident 

Our training is complete

We set up camp

And cleaned our guns 

And sang away the night

And yours by far the lovliest

Of all the pictures seen 



I can barely write today

How things have gone awry

A man who was a friend to me

Is dead and many more

I had to do a dreadful thing

To make it back alive

Why am I the only one

To send back into war? 



So tell me dear

The color of your eyes

I cannot remember

The glimmer of your hair

You were a guiding light

Emblazoned on my mind

But death had led me far away

And I don't seem to care 



Dear God I am betrayed today

My brothers are insane

Our leaders have abandoned us

And turned us loose to kill

They behave like animals

And I behave the same

Why should I try to survive

When I don't have the will? 



Dear Wife

The tempo of my death is beating down

Why Hide?

Relief awaits me, I cannot escape

Dear Wife

Your photo is a dead thing to me now

My Life

Is wasted like the memory of your face
