lyrics

OFF TO THE WAR

In the cold white stillness of autumn’s ending
I’ve watched the season turn
It's hard to believe these years are lending me
Your life and death to be learned

Baby, baby won't you send me off to the war
Baby, baby do you know what our love was here for?

You make me forget you for this winter season
While you lose your mind and gain a style
And I'm caught up in all this weary and waiting
I lose my sleep at night like a child

Change, the flag, change the flag
It’s blown down on you
Change the flag, change the flag
It's blown down on you
I've been raising up a rag...

In the warm green distance of Spring surprising
A pale white star floats up window frost
And I can't help but count the heartbeats
That measure all that's won and all that's lost

Baby, baby, won't you wave me off to the war
Baby, baby, do you know what our love was here for?
