Song Description

This is a song about a soldier and his/her letters form home, the lonliness of war

Lyrics

I always thought that it would come to this and I knew
That someone had to do it
I'm so lonely and so far form home and I need
A friend to get me through it
I've been walking in this desert sun for I know
The time it takes forever
If someone's out there who can care for me then I'll go
And ask you for this favor

Don't leave me out here all alone
Don"t leave me standing by a long dark highway
Come back and get me take me home
Where I can start to live my own life my way

So many miles from the ones I love and I feel
As helpless as one can be
If I'm not careful I will leave here soon in a box
That will be marked "IN MEMORY"
So I stay low and keep my weapons clean 'cause they are
My new friends I keep close by
As I head out to do my special task I leave you
In hoping for a reply

I have this feeling that I'm alone
And I will never make it home
That's why the letters that I own
Are my only real salvation
Just the vision of you there
To see your face and touch your hair
It's so sad yes I know it
It's quite unfair
I shout in deaperation

Well that's to screwed up situation here and I feel
That my life's on hold forever
And when you get this letter from me dear then you'll know
The time to quit is never
I always thought that it would come to this and I knew
That someone had to it
I'm so lonely and so far from home and I need
A friend to get me through it.
