oh, my love, where have you gone?

A nameless face
A fading touch
Oh, my love,
Where have you gone?

The pictures are faded,
All that's left
Are empty blue eyes,
Staring back at me
Oh, my love,
Where have you gone?

GOne to war,
I prayed for your safe return
But alas, my love,
It cannot be so

I have the clothes
you left behind,
I have the badges
you left behind,
They knocked on my door
To tell me you were no more
Oh, my love,
Tell me it is not so.

Pictures faded
From countless tears,
To see your blue eyes,
Not faded, but clear
Oh, my love,
Where have you gone?
Why have you left me behind?

Alas, now I know
You are where I cannot follow
Rest in Arlington, my love
Now I know where you have gone.

End
