Battlefield Nurse

[Chorus]
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm
When all around you things are getting worse, oh
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm
When all around you things are getting worse, oh

[Verse 1]
Dying all around me
Can I save but one or two?
He reaches out to touch me
It's the last thing he'll ever do
And sometimes I feel like a battlefield nurse
It's a role that I was born for and did not need to rehearse
They say "Lady, tell me
How bad is it?"
They grimace and curse
And I say "don't worry, soldier
Things could be a whole lot worse, oh"

[Verse 2]
I hold his body and wonder
Was this comfort that I gave?
I felt him drowning in me
He believed he was being saved
So I told him
"I am not the battlefield nurse
I have never saved a soldier and the war keeps getting worse
There is no kindness to be found here
These eyes are just a curse
The nursemaid is a liar
She's the chauffer of your herse"

[Chorus]
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm
When all around you things are getting worse
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm when all around you
All around you...
All around you...
Things are getting worse, oh
