lyrics

Please Come Back…

Lyrics by JoAnn Abbott

Music by Ted Kiper

She sleeps, she dreams

Shelling and bombs and death

She sees, she screams

Chokes as she catches breath

Calm down! Come down, she prays

Silently, anxiously, stop all phantasms and relax

But she can’t, a cold bed stops all sleep-

She sits, she stares

Remembering days before

She begs, she pleads

A spouse and a distant shore

“Be safe! Be safe!”, she says

Blood rushing powerf’ly

Breath slowing down and she’s calm;

Saying all dreams dim at dawn, but

She’s shaking, and sweating, and praying alone

And she breaks down so completely,

Crying drops she can’t postpone

Always aching, awaiting a call,

Softly she says "Please come back."

Sleeping, dreaming,

Crying screaming,

Pacing , pausing,

Calming down…

Praying come back

Always alone, always afraid,

An army spouse, acting so brave

She sleeps, she dreams

Shelling and bombs and death

She sees, she screams

Chokes as she catches breath
