Symphony Of Sorrow

Together Again

My sweet wayward beauty,
Times have made me weary,
"Wait for me," I said gravely,
That was quite foolish of me.

I told you to love no other,
Because I was a jealous lover,
I wish you didn't listen to me,
Pretty baby,
Because I can love you no longer.

My son lay in your arms,
Waiting for a hand to take him on,
Countless adventures filled with love and life,
He too, got no last goodbye's.

His father is a martyr,
You'll tell him long after.
Year after year he'll ask about the valliant warrior,
His eyes wide in wonder.

You'll tell him stories about who I used to be,
But those won't be true at all,
I wasn't brave, sweetheart,
I was a coward at heart.

I was so scared of maybe's,
And what would come ahead,
I never thought to stop and think,
What if there was never an 'ahead'.

I know many men would want to love you,
I hope you let them help you.
Don't wait for me,
In agony,
Don't waste your life for me.

Cry no tears when I don't return,
I had been so sure I would be there to sow next years ferns,
And be there to tend to the birds,
That I didn't think, perhaps, I would never come back home.

You treated me good baby,
And I thought about it daily,
I had a good life back at home,
Why did I want to be a hero at all?

If you take no partner,
Life would be harsher,
You would be alone in this world,
I want many things for you, my dear,
Don't let the opportunities go.

Please, go remarry,
Because I won't be around,
I know I promised you so much sweetie,
Please forgive me some time around.

Don't take on this world alone,
And raise our son with no help,
Don't be sad that I'm not there,
I can do that just as well.

I can feel the pain of the bullet,
As it pierces me,
And all I can think about baby,
Is that when the blossoms start falling,
I won't be there to take you dancing.

Our son will have no father,
When the day is over,
He will not know what to say,
When people ask 'How is your father?'

You will tell him stories,
About his old man,
Who never got to be old,
And died as a man.

Our favourite song will hurt you,
Make your ears bleed,
When our son begins to ask questions,
It's your heart that will bleed.

I am sorry my darling lady,
I couldn't make you proud,
I wanted to be a man,
And now I am nothing at all.

Please my precious baby,
Don't be afraid,
I'll wait for you till kingdom comes,
And we will be together again.
