Chris Mills - A Farewell To Arms lyrics

Lover, lay your weapons down And wipe the blood from around your mouth And let the armies of my heart Beaten but still beating Go silently retreating in night There is no common ground left for to fight So, lover, lay your weapons down You soldier, you captain You've seen so much action I know our bed is only ashes now But I can't believe How you could bear to see All those fresh-faced boys with copper coins across their eyes They came with looks to k** But all they learned how to do was die So, lover, lay your weapons down Lover, lay your weapons down And let the bodies all be found Naked, burnt, and twisted Tattooed hearts upon their wrists And pa**ion forever frozen in their mouths At least now we know what love is all about So, lover, lay your weapons down Lover, lay your weapons down
