I wake up this morning
All soaking wet
'cause I had been dreaming
That you were dead
I heard the rain fall
So I'd stay in bed
Thinking some more of the dream that I had
The last time I saw you
You waved me goodbye
I stood in the hallway
With tears in my eyes
I hope on your way there
Before you arrive
You know that you've already taken a life
I lived my life in vain
There's nowhere I can stay
Since I lost you
I prayed that the winter
Would carry me through
But each day your picture
Reminds me of you
You sent me a postcard
From where you're deployed
It read "I'll be home soon, my darling don't cry"
I woke up this morning
All soaking wet
And when the phone rang
I was shaking bad
I ran down the hallway
For good news I'd pray
A voice said "I'm sorry your son died today"
