Beyond those Mountains br Far across the sea br Somewhere she waits at home br I know she misses me br br She doesn't know that I am free br From the letters that I keep br I've played my part says this purple heart br She gets what's left of me br br I've seen sounds and sights one might br Find so hard to believe br And each time I would see such things br A piece of me it fell from me br br The war is over for me now br Alone she waits for me br I only hope she accepts what is left br And that there is enough to keep br br I don't feel victoriously br Part of me died in those fields br Some they say in time we forget br I don't believe I ever will br br Honey I am coming home br Back home where I belong br But the boy that you once knew br I'm afraid is forever gone.
