Forever War

He took me to the altar His metals all alight We made ourselves a home Our future looked so bright There was that time Brass bugles they did roar The music He did follow Into forever war He got onto a green bus To where there was a fight He wrote me that he’d be okay That everything’s alright Chorus When his country came a calling He didn’t ask what for His job was just to fight in This forever war. I felt a heartbeat singing Unexpectedly New life inside me growing To love and comfort me I stayed away from tv The news was always grim Our baby kept on growing While I waited for him To come home Please come home To come home Please come home One day they came a knockin With medals shiny bright Come all the way to tell me Things won’t be alright They’ll never be alright Chorus When his country came a calling He didn’t ask what for His job was just to fight in This forever war Verse 3 Timmy now is older Than the fight that took my love He wants to be like daddy Still watching from above I wonder when they’ll come a knockin ( will they come a knockin) With medals shiny bright Come all the way to tell me Things won’t be alright They’ll never be alright Chorus When his country came a calling He didn’t ask what for His job was just to fight in This forever war
