Midnight Soldier

Oh my midnight soldier
come back to me.

The tears fell like stars,
On a clear night,
He looked back,
ran, and hugged her tight.

Oh my midnight soldier
come back to me.

He knew she was strong,
But couldn't let her hurt,
Nothing he could do,
Was enough to comfort.

Oh my midnight soldier
come back to me.

She was flooded with memories,
That morning they eloped,
Tried to shake it out,
Handed him the envelope.

Oh my midnight soldier
come back to me.

He took his place among the soldiers,
Opened the letter as the bus rolled away,
She saw his soul fade as he read,
"I love you but I cannot stay."

Oh my midnight soldier
come back to me.
