Have you ever been afraid of someone you love dying Them being sent away for war With mountains and fields and oceans separating you and your lover Waking up one day to a letter or a call Of how your loved one was shot or blasted away Their spirit either being sent up high or down to the mighty depths When they leave you don't even get a goodbye or an I love you That sweet voice you always wanna hear Now will never be heard again Wishing on the only faint star of the night to bring them back Leaving you with all the broken promises And all the broken hearts of the others who loved them With nobody left to lay with Grasping at empty spaces of the bed Wishing for it all to be a lie Laying their awake at night with tears running down your cheeks Only wanting that one person to wipe away your tears And kiss away all your pain and sorrows Have you ever been afraid of someone you love dying Well I do and I don't want them to be sent away
