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
