For Phil

I watched you sleep in your bed
Through the cracks in your lips, I heard the words you said
“Please forgive me if I’ve gone away
But I know you’ll be okay”

I could see you in my mind
Though I didn’t think much of it at the time
I asked what you’d want me to sing if you leave
You turned away, leaving me to grieve

*You marched to war with yourself
Fighting just so you could regain some health
And as I wait for you to come back home
I could see you as you soldiered on

As the light broke, so did my heart
At the thought of us being so far apart
Never thought I’d have to prepare this song
But I guess I was always wrong

Repeat *

I closed my eyes and laid me down to sleep
Fighting hard just so I wouldn’t weep
And as I wait for you to come back to me
I could see you as you soldiered on

You marched to war by yourself
Fighting hard so you could regain some health
I clenched my fists tight to try and stay strong
As I marched and soldiered on
