If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh somehow you'll know
You will know
Thinking of your love
Slyly they whispered away
As I played the last post on the bugle
I heard them say
"Oh that boy's no different today
Except in every single way"
If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh somehow you'll know
just know
Thinking of your love
Oh, I was carried away
Caught up in an affray
as they let him away, he sang
"We'll meet again someday
oh my boy, there's a price to pay"
If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh somehow you'll know
I don't how but you'll know
I'll be thinking of your love
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
(Inside I felt
So, so alone
Locked in a room
Waiting til kingdom come
Although I felt elated
I felt like I was scum)
I was carried away
Caught up in an affray
As they let him away, he sang
"We'll meet again some day
Oh my boy, there's a price to pay"
Feels like I've never been away
Though it's been longer than I could possibly say
I've been wandering the market
Carrying a sign, saying the end of...
The world is nigh
I'm glad to see we're still tight
The bonds that tie a man are tight
Yet we do what we do
With ritual habitually
All through the night
