Why My Love

from Landmine by The Post-Timey String Band

/

lyrics

Why, my love, do you go,
And take my heart into war?
The landmine’s not a safe place for us to hide,
But it will be our only shelter for tonight.

I tried to be your nightingale,
And sing away the pain you felt.
Oh! Sweet Nightingale…
But you heard the call of fire and ran
To plant your feet in distant lands
And fight another man’s war.

And still,
I’m waiting.
Still,
I’m waiting…
