Dearest Sarah |
Dearest Sarah I’m compelled to write with aching fearful hands |
Just in case I never make it back |
I left our family weeks ago for battle stricken lands |
And I fear I wont survive the next attack |
I fled Rhode Island willingly to join the Union force |
Understanding I may never know my boys |
But this country’s strength of government is in a great divorce |
And for this I risk my life and all its joys |
Oh Sarah I do understand within my sacrifice |
Goes nearly every joy for you as well |
But I hope you sense within my words |
I thought about it twice |
But our nation cast a thick momentus spell |
Oh Sarah start a life without me |
Raise our boys to gentlemen |
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again |
Understand my inner fight |
I didn’t choose the war |
I sided with democracy |
As that is what I’m dying for |
Oh Sarah — my love for you is deathless |
Oh Sarah — my love for you is deathless |
Growing up without my father weighed heavy on my brain |
And I dread this makes my children dance that waltz |
And I’m sure at times your trust was breaked |
And your love for me did wane |
But I ask you to forgive me for these faults |
And I can’t express the irony of the peaceful summer breeze |
Dusting my batallion as they rest |
'Cause within this evening lies a dark and icy freeze |
That whispered me to send you this request |
Oh Sarah start a life without me |
Raise our boys to gentlemen |
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again |
Understand my inner fight |
I didn’t choose the war |
I sided with democracy |
As that is what I’m dying for |
Oh Sarah — but my love for you is deathless |
Oh Sarah — it’s deathless |
I am one of hundred thousand paying all that we can pay |
Standing for an object that we can’t see |
And remind them of the reasons they are free |
If it’s true the dead can drift unseen around the loves they had |
Then I will be the wind upon your cheek |
And the darkest moments in your life will not be so bad |
Because I will be your strength when you are week |
Oh Sarah start a life without me |
Raise our boys to gentlemen |
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again |
Understand my inner fight |
I didn’t choose the war |
I sided with democracy |
As that is what I’m dying for |
Oh Sarah, but my love for you is deathless |
Oh Sarah, my love for you is deathless |
Oh Sarah, my love for you is deathless |
Oh Sarah, my love for you is deathless |
