Ever since I
broke loose of home
I'll never break
the bond we made
as long as my senses stand
I'll hold my head high and keep
my heart and name for you

storms wake
and bullets flare
between all things mad
I still pledge my name and heart
for you

Shot in the leg
other man shot down
my oath still strong
still true

I am soon to dock
dearly awaiting your
embraces
yearning to wed
you soon

I came walking
with joy near my heart
to see us join once more
though sadly I learned
death wrote you down
in his looks and locked
you down there gone and good

never shall I seek
never shall I answer
but to your name
your heart and road alone

as long as my days race
and my lungs last
for my heart lifts and dives
only and only for you
