Song for a Soldier

Oh . . .
Since you went away,
You can color me, color me, color me, color me in grey
So I'm working on the words I want to say
I never knew, never knew, never knew your name
You're just my soldier, babe
You lost track of the days
They come and they go, and they come and they go
There's no way that I could keep up with it
And I pray
And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me
Ten thousand miles away
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold you
And make it all right
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told you
That you're my soldier
But goodnight
You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time
Until we're staring up at the same sky
And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line
Until my soldier's mine
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold you
And make it all right
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told you
That you're my soldier
Goodnight
I don't care how long it takes
I'm not going anywhere, love (no)
You see there
This distance only makes me
Say it over and over until it gets to you
My soldier (oh)
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold you
And make it all right
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told you
You're my soldier
Goodnight
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told you
That you're my soldier
Goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Mmm . . .
