Love Me Till Then

I leave in the morning on that Northern-bound train
The time may be long 'til I see you again
I'll be returning but I can't say when
So hold me and love me 'til then
'Til then I will miss you every hour of every day
So promise you'll be true while I'm away
Then when it's over I'll come home again
So hold me and love me 'til then

You know
I can't help but feel that fighting is a useless thing
Especially when I think of all the sorrow and all the grief it can bring
But there comes a time when a man must make a stand
So I'll fight if I have to, and I'll do the best I can

I'll do what I have to
Yes I'll shoot the man down
I'll fire the rifle but I won't like the sound
Then when it's over I'll come home again
So hold me and love me 'til then
'Til then I will miss you every hour of every day
So promise you'll be true while I'm away
I'll be returning but I can't say when
So promise you'll be true while I'm away
I'll be returning but I can't say when
So hold me and love me 'til then
