Soldiers

We ran deep into the woods from the other side of the wire an enemy came with me. Stripping our uniforms bare we hid in the river A mouthful of oxygen from an enemy's lung And in an embrace , We floated in the liquid sky Above us the fire flowered With its thousand tongues raving in riot. We ran deeper and in the night we made a fire huddled around it I sang a song I don't think he understood a word He liked it though I can tell . Deep in the woods The enemy slept peacefully as I kept guard The fire weakened I let it wane And in a dim light The movie started In the forest , By the lake I watched for hours Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman dance. Deep in the woods, We were all in Casablanca (... the fundamental things apply As time goes by...)
