I sleep single in a double bed
My lover fights this war
I stare at food no appetite
My lover fights this war
I breathe, I force air into my lungs
The days have never felt so long
I feel movement inside, new life begins
My lover's seed of hope.
Rat tat tat, rapid fire, I watch the evening news
Tanks roll on, our Air Force fires
My lover fights this war
Tomorrow comes, on weary feet
No rest, no safe repose
My heart is growing bitter
More lines I cannot write
I feel like an ungrateful traitor
For needing him this night
