Washington Lyrics

"Lover/Soldier" lyrics


Yes, yes I know, yes I know that when you hear this you'll feel strange, I know
Still out of sight, but I've got this mouth that's full of dynamite, tonight, tonight
Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother and you do it on your own
I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me
But, I don't think we need to
'cause it's just so easy

So, I survive
I just try to get through and stay alive
You do the same, do the same
I see you running through the rain

Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother and you do it on your own
I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me
But, I don't think we need to
'cause it's just so easy

I got lucky when you said sorry
I couldn't stop now, if I knew how
And if it's true what they say about love and hard work, well alright
Because maybe people in love are all on the same side when they fight
Everyone's raging and railing and screaming for war
But you haven't got anything that I would fight you for, to fight you

Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother and you do it on your own
I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me
But, I don't think we need to
'cause it's just so easy

Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother and you do it on your own
We can take our chances because we knew it going in
There'd be lots of dancing but we'd never, ever play to win
