When the soldiers came knocking,
At my lonely door,
To tell me that I could not,
See you anymore,
it broke my heart when you went away,
You were coming back so I let it ache,
Now they've come to say you're gone,
I can see my big mistake,
I know that I'll get over you,
There's nothing left for me to do,
I can't just sit here feeling blue,
I tell my self that I'll get through,
You told me that you had to go,
I never understood what for,
I knew I couldn't hold you here,
But now you're gone forever more,
