No my darling have no fear,
I'll see you by and by,
I trust in my commander
and my brothers in arms,
the chaplain reassures
that god is on our side,
and I will you write you every-
day, I will keep you informed

Dear wife-I can feel your
arms about my neck,
life like-the image of you crying at the gate
Dear wife-you're photo
is a shiels over my heart
My life-depends upon
the memory of your face

we landed on the shore
today, no enemy in sight,
We are strong and confident our training is
complete, we set up camp
cleaned our guns and sang away the night,
and yours by far the loveliest of all the pictures seen

I can barely write today
how things have gone awry,
A man who was a friend to
me is dead and many more,
I had to do a dreadful
thing to make it back
alive, why am i the only
one to send back into war?

So tell me dear the
color of your eyes,
I cannot remember
the glimmer of your
hair, you were a guid-
ing light emblazoned
on my mind, but death
has led me far away
and I don't seem to care

Dear god I am betrayed
today, my brothers are
insane, our leaders have
abandoned us and turned
us loose to kill, they
behave like animals
and i behave the same, why
should I try to survive
when I don't have the will?

Dear wife-the tempo
of my death is beating
down, why hide? re-
lief awaits me, I cannot
escape, Dear wife-your
photo is a dead thing
to me now, my life-is
wasted like the
memory of your face.
