Soldiers

Ben Howard

oh you watch me stready

you watch me with such a quiet sincerity
and you hold me heavy

you hold me like I was born to be held
and the light comes in here

morning my dear

and the restlessness of arms
and we lie here longing

now words were ours that will never be harm
cause you are dear to me
yeah you are dear

but if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
if this was how it was meant to fall, no
if this goes wrong again
will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
and just go
and just go

I made you breakfast

oh soldiers to guard and keep you company
and I'm going away again
the faces and falsities of new friends
yeah there's fires here to burn, and
timbers left to learn in this young heart
and honey please don't think I don't miss you

no don't think I don't think of you when we're apart
because I do dear, I do
yeah I do dear

but if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
if this was how it was meant to fall, no
if this goes wrong again
will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
and just go
and just go
