| 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 |
