There is a soldier behind me
in line
here at this coffee shop
with his girl
it is sweet

I want to touch him
on the sleeve
bless him
curse war
bless him
curse hate
bless him
ask him if he has the time

of day

More...

There is a coffin beside me
carried by friends
draped in stars
beaten by drums

We walk
and walk
we have a whole world to go

If I could
I would
touch him on the sleeve
take he and his girl home

We'd play cards far into the night adrift

as bombs burst
and loved ones mourn
