Washington – Lover/Soldier Lyrics 9 years ago
Definitely a beautiful song! I actually think it's about a couple fighting, not a soldier who the singer loves being at war. "Lover, you're a soldier, you're a long long way from home." She's comparing her lover to a soldier because they are fighting, and that's what soldiers do, they fight. He's a long way from home because he's fighting with her, he's against her.

"I got lucky when you said sorry
I couldn't stop now, if I knew how
And if it's true what they say about love and hard work, well alright
Because maybe people in love are all on the same side when they fight"

This part is saying that she got lucky and he apologized, because she couldn't stop loving him, even if she wanted to. "Love is hard work, and sometimes hard work hurts - Unknown". She's saying that if that's true, then it's fine, because maybe people are on the same side when they fight, the same side being love.
