Padding like lions in the tall grass
Off in the distance hear
Trains whistle as they pass.
Young men with restless hearts
Ride tracks to busy wharfs
Lined up with planes and tanks and Jeeps.

For now, take from my lips
Soft summer's kiss.
Our friends have gathered 
In the garden bearing gifts.
New, borrowed, blue and old.
Wear rings of matching gold.  
One plus one makes one family. 

Work all your life.
Make a home with me. 
Put little hearts inside.
Spend every night
With your hand in mine 
We'll walk through any fog.

Leave the soldiers to their conquests. 
They're writing history 
With blood and bayonets. 
You fight a holy war
Where bombs rain from heaven's door.
They care not for my love for thee.

May each word sound 
My voice to you in darkness.
Each curve of ink, a kiss,
Each letter, a carress.
May my love keep you warm
Through cold and gathering storm
What I ask of you, please ask of me.

Work all your life.
Make a home with me. 
Put little hearts inside.
Spend every night
With your hand in mine 
We'll walk through any fog.

Don't declare your love.
Heave no trembling sigh.
Just come back to me alive.

Work all your life.
Make a home with me. 
Put little hearts inside.
Spend every night
With your hand in mine 
We'll walk through any fog.

Work all your life
spend every night
With me
