You'll maybe find me here one day
And I don't know just what will rest of me
One single sheet of paper
All that's left for eternity
Came here for someone's freedom
Came across the sea to take the tyrants down
My heart is beating slower and slower
Ain't nothing left that can frighten me now
Last night I dreamed your sleeping arms around me
As the bombers rocked the sky
I know I came here for my country
It's what they say it's what they tell you when we die
Where is he now, your God of people
Left me shattered like a stone
And I'm so cold I'm so cold as I wait for the morning
That's going to take me home
Take me home
What's one more day when your eyes are cold
What's one more day when there's nothing left to hold
They're coming at us from the hilltop
They're coming at us from the town
And the tracers fly like shooting stars from heaven
Falling down, falling down
They're falling down, falling down all around
And I promised you I'd be there
When victory is won I'd be the one
Who'd be coming home
Where's the sense in all of this
If it leaves you all alone
Did I tell you that I couldn't live without you
Did I tell you that I've loved you since the day that I was born
And now I'm all torn and broken
And I'm so sorry my love
I know my time is here
And there's no place for my fear
And all I want is just to feel that you are near
And dry your tears dry your tears
And I can see them now raising the banner
It's a day of glory for all
And it all makes such good propaganda
Unless you're the one to fall
You can hold your head high my love
As they carry me home
Just a hero who wasn't so lucky but
One of the best that we've ever known
And you can see them raise the banner
A day of glory for us all
It's always such good propaganda
But some of us will have to fall
You can hold your head up high
As they carry me back home
Another hero on their shoulders
Another boy who died alone
I know my time is here
And there's no place for my fear any more
And all I want is just to feel that you are near to me
And dry your tears yeah I'll dry your tears
you are simply good..!
creative excellent arrangement and your voice...sounds great..!!!
...and your voice is really something beautiful...
Inge, Dace, Toni, I know I've thanked you elsewhere, but I just want to do it again here. You guys are a big part of what makes this place so special, and why it's been my musical home ever since I started making music to share again about twelve years ago. What with the time zones and all, I don't get to many of the radio shows, but I love this family and the talent on here, and it's a great source of inspiration to get better all the time 😜
Powerfully evocative Chris. Stirs up emotions that I believe a love song should absolutely do.
Your beautiful piano just enhances that feel.
Thank you, Tricia and Ron 🙂 my friends!
Very accomplished piece of work. Top notch production values. Moves through the sections seamlessly. Well done Chris.
Thanks so much, Bob, Larry and Toni. I had so much fun making this one - and to pinch Larry's phrase "the icing on the cake" is knowing that you guys listen to it and feel moved to comment 😁
Powerfully so evocative Chris. Love the emotive piano and vocals.
