My Silent Wake - A Photograph lyrics

On the mantelpiece stands a photograph Soldier and his bride One of many who had to leave To march, to find, to die She will always remember you and the look in your eyes One of many who had to leave And they push you to the limit Fighting man, a frightened child And you saw her on the battlefield The closing moments of your life They will always remembe you and the look in your eyes One of many who had to leave She is old now, she has lived long, and not a day goes by Without a thought of you An unspoken hope To walk with you beyond the skies
