lyrics

I look around and I see my life
There’s more to life than the navy
I never was gonna take a wife
But then I got the taste for the gravy

Now every night and every day
I take my love in my fighter’s arms
Keep her safe and always true I pray
And keep her from the grave

So I go to sleep in the warmth of your love
And with your head upon my shoulder
But It turned out for me deliverance was to come from above
And now my nights are colder than the grave

My love flew away on the wings of a crow
I tried to hold on but I couldn’t let go
I thought that I’d see her after the show
But that wasn’t the way it was to be so

Now I cant stop looking for her in the street
But that’s not the way it’s gonna be
Cos I know she’s down at the cemetery
Down six feet in the grave
