作词 : MacManus | |
I thought i'd write to juliet, for she would understand | |
And when someone is already dead they can no longer let you down | |
Instead i find myself talking to you, as my oldest friend | |
Tell me how i can advise someone, that i don't even know, | |
To welcome death | |
For i received a letter that is worth reporting | |
And though it may raise a cynical smile | |
It leaves a sinking feeling | |
Like when a soldier in a story says to the sergeant... | |
'have you seen my pride and joy?...' | |
You know the rest...and it's no joke...forgive me please as i quote... | |
'this is a letter of thanks, as i'm so bored here in i can't | |
Say where. | |
So i'm writing to people that i may never meet | |
And i was thinking if something you said...' | |
'i'm a female soldier, my name is constance. | |
I enlisted in the military needing funds for college | |
I'm twenty-three years old and if i do get home alive | |
I imagine i may think again...' | |
'i'm sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attack | |
Your words are a comfort, they're the best thing that i have | |
Apart from family pictures and, of course, my gas mask | |
I don't know why i am writing to you' |
