Soldier's Wife - John Parr

Pack your bags

Pack your boots

Throw my heart in

With the rest of you

Lying here

Pretending I’m asleep

You’re so quiet

Tryin' not to wake me

Close the door

So I can finally weep

Long after you’ve gone

My love’s still strong

You’ll always be there

Time slowly drifts by

Lonely am I

Just a soldier’s wife

I read your letters

To the kids

I left out

Our secret bits

Lying here in the dark

In your old shirt

While we’re apart

The smell of you

Calms this aching heart

Long after you’ve gone

My love’s still strong

You’ll always be there

Time slowly drifts by

Lonely am I

Just a soldier’s wife
