Anna Renae - The Soldier

I'm staring at blank paper
There's so much in my head
If only it could find its way into words
But they would only make a verse
That I would never say anyway

There's nothing that makes sense to me any more
Now that you're gone

But in the fields of roses where you now are free
I know you won't walk alone
Maybe you'll find the answers you were always looking for
That you couldn't find down here

So I sit with my pen just dripping ink
In no particular pattern
Just an unrecognisable picture made up of untidy shapes
Just a black and white mess with an unknown message

There's nothing that makes sense to me any more
Now that you're gone

But in the fields of roses where you now are free
I know you won't walk alone
Maybe you'll find the answers you were always looking for
That you couldn't find down here, oh

There's one thing that I know for sure
I will never forget that day
When they carried you and your fellow soldiers away

So now you're gone
And there's no need
To reply to your letter
So I sit looking at an empty page
In no need of any words
And I cry

But in the fields of roses where you now are free
I know you won't walk alone
Maybe you've found the truth that you were always fighting for
That you couldn't find down here, in this world

And my words would only make a verse
That you will never hear anyway
