Stand like a soldier br Buried in my shoulder br Lies retraced br Across your palm br br Your tears are soft br Like the wind br My shoulder hard br From the strain br br I can feel it inside you br As you silently cry br Washing away the pattern on my shirt br Allowing me to relive br br Standing like a soldier br Shoulder to shoulder br Your face is clear br And you smile, br - and I thank you with my heart.
