Sun abandons this thirsty ravaged land He's weary after a long effortful day Takes off his heavy armor She asks if he feels okay He stirs her endlessly fresh hair She grins then looks playfully away He fancies her devoted eyes and shy smile She's happy he made it to the end of the day A long day forgotten with a slip of the tongue The battle-hardened hero falls, in love Embracing, they seem so at peace She's tending stitches and happy he's home This lucky glowing twosome Forget the anger lurking outside Maybe this is their last twinkle Who knows what tomorrow brings? They just enjoy each other's company Their hearts forget almost everything A long day forgotten with a slip of the tongue The battle-hardened hero falls, in love There are soldiers outside shivering to the bone With no love's light or soothing eyes tonight But these two are happily sleeping inside It's time to wake up now But he's not wanting to leave Their sheets are where he wants to stay Together, softly they breathe Then he whispers as he walks away "My love, thank you for what you do for me The unyielding stars might call out my name But tonight we'll make better memories A meaningful night remembered with a slip of the tongue" The battle-hardened hero falls, in love
