Promise that you always will

Keep candles lit on the windowsill

You know I''ll be comin'' home



You know I never wanted to go away

But what am I supposed to say

When I hear the sounds of the trumpet call

Who says



All is fair in love and war



Your pictures kept close to my heart

Letters all but fall apart

Each night I read them over again



You know I never wanted to go away

But what am I supposed to say

When I hear the sounds of the trumpet call

Who says



You know I never wanted to go away

I swear

Its war
