Lover / Soldier - Washington

Yes, yes, I know

Yes, I know that when you hear this, you’ll feel strange, I know

Still out of sight

But I’ve got this mouth that’s full of dynamite, tonight, tonight

Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own

I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me

I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy

So I survive

So I just try to get through and stay alive

You do the same

Do the same, I see you running through the rain

Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own

I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me

I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy

I got lucky when you said sorry

And I couldn’t stop now

If I knew how

And if it’s true what they say about love and hard work, well, alright

'Cause maybe people in love are all on the same side when they fight

And everyone’s raging and railing and screaming for war

But you haven’t got anything that I would fight you for

To fight you

Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own

I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me

I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy

Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own

We can take our chances, 'cause we knew it going in

There’d be lots of dancing, but we’d never, ever play to win
