Home and Away a Collaboration With Ian Jones
Oh my darling, it's been three long years
Since our finger tips slipped apart
Oh my dearest i have all been in tears
Wishing you were here, my heart is apart
I remember our dream to be wed
In the village church bedecked with flowers
I wish with all our strengths we could have fled
To a world and age of only love powers
But my darling, the creeping green death
Has taken my breath away like you did on that Summer's day.
The Chlorine gas attacks destroyed the lungs of many soldiers in the
trenches and it glowed luminous green and hugged the ground.
Oh my dearest how i wish i was there to nurse
You during the wounded cold days
But over here am seeing my share of the curse
The kids are dying of starvation and unknown diseases invade
The surgeon's been, I don't have long, still
I love you more than life deserves
I miss you more than Heaven will
Goodbye my darling, I'm so sorry
I want to be with you but my heart will be still.
One day we will meet again
My days are few too
One day we will dance in the rain
There will be no songs to feel blue
Farewell my love, for forever we will be without pain
Consumption has taken me from you
I'll meet you on the other side again
