Verse 1:

i picture you sleeping. when i am not there.

i think of you smiling. extending yourself to the edge of the mattress.

i see our apartment. the clothes on the floor.

the books on the nightstand.

your breath on my face and your hair on the pillow.

you told me that you were so happy.

in that dress that the sun shone right through.

i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.

the ocean is wide and it's deep. but the undertow pulls me to you.

i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.

Verse 2: (chords: second verse; same as first)

we leave in the morning. i'm terribly scared.

i want to return as the man that you saw wave goodbye at the station.

i will try to be careful. i will button my coat.

i will count the days backward.

i will concentrate and will the bullets to miss me.

you told me that you were so happy. it turns out that i'm happy too.

i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.

i make a lousy soldier. my heart isn't in it that's true

i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.
