Woods Of Darney - Richard Thompson[00:00:01]

I found your picture in a corporal's pocket[00:00:15]

His cold fingers still pressed it to his chest[00:00:21]

Sniper's bullet took his eyes and his breath away[00:00:26]

Now he lies out in the forest with the rest[00:00:32]

You looked shy in your grandmother's wedding dress[00:00:41]

Feet set wide like a farm girl stands[00:00:46]

Too young to love and too young to lose[00:00:52]

In a cracked picture frame in a dead man's hands[00:00:57]

I kept it with me for the luck for the magic[00:01:07]

Maybe fate wouldn't strike in the same place twice[00:01:11]

But something stirred and I dared to dream of you[00:01:17]

And I knew I'd look for you if I should survive[00:01:22]

When we stood down at last it was easy to find you[00:01:31]

And mine was the shoulder you cried on that day[00:01:37]

Just an old comrade doing his duty[00:01:43]

Bringing the news from the woods of Darney[00:01:49]

When I showed you the picture perhaps I felt jealousy[00:01:57]

As your tears welled up with each reminisce[00:02:02]

And my hands may be rougher and my tongue may be coarser[00:02:08]

But I knew I could give you a love good as his[00:02:14]

Now we lie in the darkness together[00:02:55]

Often we lie without speaking this way[00:03:01]

As you stare in the dark do you see your young corporal[00:03:06]

Who never came back from the woods of Darney[00:03:11]

Is it him that you see when we make love together [00:03:18]

Is it him that you see when war fills the sky [00:03:24]

Was he there as you stood[00:03:30]

In your grandmother's wedding dress[00:03:32]

As we made our own vows you and I [00:03:36]

Now the bugle calls they say this is the big one[00:03:43]

A curse on the life of a soldier you say[00:03:48]

But don't you know that's a soldier's small comfort[00:03:55]

For the bugle to sound and to hear and obey[00:04:00]

And I'll carry your picture the one that he carried[00:04:09]

I'll wear your innocence and take my chance[00:04:15]

On a frozen field in a far-flung war[00:04:20]

To win back what we lost in a field in France[00:04:25]

And it's many a soldier who goes into battle[00:04:32]

Your corporal and I we just hear and obey[00:04:38]

Perhaps we'll lie in the darkness together[00:04:45]

With your love to bind us in the woods of Darney[00:04:50]
