soldier@the platform

i see a train at the platform
is it waiting for me?
for i have been away so long
is it waiting for me?

when i left,
when i left my town
she had tears in her eyes
eyes big n brown

she wanted me to come back
fearing what the war might do
her lips were sealed
but her eyes said i love u

is the train her friend
or does it carry a sad song
for i have been so far away
and away for so long

not one letter she wrote
not a message she sent
the train am sure was everyday
it came to town and went

has she forgotten
all that we shared
has she lost the fact
that i cared

mama told me to be a man
stand by the nation as a wall
love for the country is and
should always be a man's first call

and now that the enemy pushed back
now that the blood days are behind me
her scarf takes me to another world
her touch and love it reminds me

and then there is this train
loaded with the past
that the love for the woman
should also last

i need some effort to make
and tell the train to take
take me to her town
and rest into those eyes

eyes big and brown....
