lyrics

You say we lost ourselves in our soldier shoes
The wartime trials tested our resolve
And through our efforts yeah I had lost sight
The weathering had worn down on our soles
So lay me down, and close my eyes

You say we left our love in our winter boots
I held on close to you when you were cold
But with the blossoms came the warmer days
And I couldn't bring myself to let you go
So feel the sun, and help me say

Farewell my dear, farewell
I'll miss you dearly while I am away
My heart beats fast, my heart beats fast
So tell me lover, say we'll make it through

You say we lost our way in some distant place
And never really got back on the road
Now you walk a path you make yourself
No room for crooked footsteps by your side
So rarefy, and help me say

A long goodbye as I realize
The past we had could not have been better
My fingertips brush past your hips
As you turn to go, you take a quick glance back and I know

You say we left our love in our winter boots
I held on close to you when you were cold
