Somme

When I went away to war
I feared I'd see my love no more
On the day I went away
I feared that she was lost for aye

None are here to tell me why
In the bloodied pools we lie
Those that live and those that die
Beneath an inattentive sky

Those that wont return again
Yet they dream - anticipating
Dying, calling out to those
Those they hope at home are waiting

I returned again today
But my world had gone away
A shadow of it still abides
In my darling's weeping eyes

But I remember all I saw
Blood still hot and flesh still raw
And dim recall the world before
I was called away to war
