lyrics

In a time when love and sorrow came crashing to our shores
The soldier said to her true love, a day before the war
“Though I have chosen you, you’ve yet to give your heart to me.
And if I’m not the one for you, just tell me, tell me.”

Cause I might die tomorrow
Never knowing your love
And I might cry tomorrow
Living without your love

In a time when death and anger came turning on the wheel
The soldier stepped onto the field, for there to test her steel
To fight for pride and honor and peace under free skies
She we went to war without her love and there she gave her life

Cause I might die tomorrow
Never knowing your love
And I might cry tomorrow
Living without your love

And all she ever wanted was to hear her lover say
I'll love you still at the end of the day.
And all she ever wanted was time enough for love.
But all the wanting in the world will never be enough.

In a time when loss and memories came storming to our door
The woman dreamed of her true love so often after the war
In visions she says she loves her and shelters her from the end
She wishes she were with her now, and wishes and wishes again

Yeah, she wishes and wishes again
She wishes and wishes again

Hearing: I might die tomorrow…
