Poor Soldier Lyrics by Deep Chatham

The Catskill Sessions

2020

[Chorus]
Too [?] to let everybody know
That his back is gonna break beneath this load
How her memories are sweet
Through the sickness and the grief
In the wreckage and the splinters of our home
As her eyes, they drift away
You'll sit and wonder through the days
Does she buy her time alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Does she buy
Buy her time
Does she buy
Her time
Does she buy
Her timе
[Verse 1]
All the soldiers left out in thе war
Throw away their bullets and go home
There ain't no money worth fighting for
There ain't no fight worth leavin' her alone
And all the sailors set out on the seas
Come back shaking and on their knees
They'll kiss the ground and say they'll never leave your side again
And that they'll be there until the end
[Chorus]
Too [?] to let everybody know
That his heart is gonna break beneath this load
How her memories are sweet
Through the sickness and the grief
In the wreckage and the splinters of our home
Now her eyes, they drift away
You'll sit and wonder through the days
Does she buy her time alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Does she buy
Buy her time
Does she buy
Her time
Oh does she buy
Her time
[Verse 2]
Bitterness and lies make a life that can't deny
All the vices and the substance of this world
Your bloody hands come clean as you're burstin' at the seams
And the flag you stand behind, it comes unfurled
But I'd rather spend my time on the Carolina line
With my freezing thumb stuck out to their will
Than to just waste away pretendin' everything's okay
That I may never see you again
[Chorus]
Too [?] to let everybody know
That his back is gonna break beneath this load
Now her memories are sweet
Through the sickness and the grief
In the wreckage and the splinters of our home
As her eyes, they drift away
You'll sit and wonder through the day
Does she buy her time alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Does she buy
Buy her time
Does she buy
Her time
How does she buy
Her time
