Dear Wife |
| 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 |
