War Is Hell

Hugh X. Lewis


Our baby surely got his mama's temper
The morning silence breaks he must be fed
He's happy now cause I don't hear one whipper
As you slide back beside me in our bed

My arms reach out to cage your body tigtly
My lips survey you warm and velvet skin
Ten thousand miles to you I retreat nigthly
While my mind's playing tricks on me again

My mind's been caught day dreaming AWOL
The enemy is screaming another body fell
War is hell

I must remember I've been trained for killing
That's the only way I can survive
If my luck holds out and God is willing
Tomorrow morning I'll still be alive

The most important thing now is survival
But my mind keeps picturing your smile
I must have sleep so I can't face my rival
So I'll just rest my eyes a little while

My mind's been caught day dreaming AWOL...
