[Intro]
Lady time, fly away
I've been thinkin'
'Bout my yesterdays

[Verse 1]
Oh please, listen darlin', to my empty prayer
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight
How're you and my child?

[Verse 2]
Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Oh, does he ask about me?

[Verse 3]
Ah just like a soldier boy
Ah but I fight in wars the world never knows about
Oh but I never win them loud
Oh there's no crowds around me

[Verse 4]
When I get to thinkin' about the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh what I'd give to hold you
