My heart is skipping the even beats Moving from one to three Three back to one Mind bent on circumstance That divides and distances A love that is true The colors of a springtime bloom That feed my delight for you Are dusted with grey So suitingly when you're gone I know you'll return upon The prayers of the saints Oh when you cried on my shoulder I knew that this could be right Oh then I said that a soldier Fights 'til the morning light Oh when you cried on my shoulder I knew that this could be right Oh then you said that a soldier Cries when he's older
