AlanPeter - The Battlefield Blues Lyrics

Rain's pounding on my window like the tears on my face
Radio's crackling telling tales from a long away place.
Each word's a dagger cuts me deep inside
I'm holding on to his picture but it can't dry my eyes.

Oh the rain keeps falling drowning out my prayer
The clock keeps ticking but he ain't here he ain't there.
Darkness wraps around me heavy as my despair
Oh the rain keeps falling and I don't know if he cares.

The battles rage on oceans far away from this room
But the fight's here in my heart under this heavy moon.
His name slips through my lips like a ghost in the night
I'm lost in this silence praying he'll be alright.

Oh the rain keeps falling drowning out my prayer
The clock keeps ticking but he ain't here he ain't there.
Darkness wraps around me heavy as my despair
Oh the rain keeps falling and I don't know if he cares.

I count every minute like a soldier on the line
But my battlefield's this empty bed where he used to lie.
The tick-tock mocks me the storm won't break
And my heart's at war with the promises he made.

Oh the rain keeps falling drowning out my prayer
The clock keeps ticking but he ain't here he ain't there.
Darkness wraps around me heavy as my despair
Oh the rain keeps falling and I don't know if he cares.

So I'll hold his picture tighter though it's worn at the edge
And I'll whisper to the heavens though they ain't answered yet.
The rain keeps falling and the night won't end
But I'll wait here forever 'til I see him again.
