Lyrics

bridge
there are red coats on his left
dark waters are on his right
i will light the homefires bright
pray that he'll be home tonight
v1
dont want a hero's accolade
carnival fires otr loud parade
no medals pinned upon this vest
no flag draped on a wooden chest
i just want to be safe from harm
in my lover's arms
v2
dont want to feel her running fast
or hear that thunderous cannons blast
such sensless victory it brings
dont want to fight for anything
i just want to be safe from harm...wrapped
in my lover's arms
chorus
i wanna be
in my lover's arms
i wanna be
in my lover's arms
bridge
there are red coats on his left
dark waters are on his right
i will light the homefires bright
pray that he'll be home tonigh
v3
now freedom i can live without
evil may never be blotted out
but if they took you from my door...
love is the only thing worth dying for
chorus
i wanna be
in my lover's arms
just let me be
in my lover's arms
i wanna be
in my lover's arms
