Promise that you always will
Keep candles lit on the windowsill
You know i'll be comin' home

You know i never wanted to go away
But what am i supposed to say
When i hear the sounds of the trumpet call
Who says

All is fair in love and war

Your pictures kept close to my heart
Letters all but fall apart
Each night i read them over again

You know i never wanted to go away
But what am i supposed to say
When i hear the sounds of the trumpet call
Who says

You know i never wanted to go away
I swear
Its war
