An Ordinary Soldier

It was easier when I let go
It was easier than you will know
Your lovely face, your deepest eyes -
You fade from me in this disguise
But where is my cavalry?
Who's going to follow me
Who will fight by my side?
I'm standing still, I'm standing straight
An ordinary soldier with my blind faith
I hear the wind as I retreat
It sings of when we two shall meet
In the lee of the battle
My heart, heavy like rain
Beats slowly to the single drum
That sounds out your name
But where is my cavalry?
Who's going to follow me?
Who will fight by my side and hold me when I fall?
Who will keep me from slipping into the past?
Who will help me remember I loved and lost well?
