The Ship on His Arm

"Where are you now?"
 She writes, "Where are you now, my love?
 Do you have food to eat, shoes for your tired feet
 Am I the one you're dreaming of?"
 "Do you know how I miss you
 How I long to kiss you
 Pray for the day you will come
 Back to me, my darling one"
 He thinks about her
 All through the long watches of night
 The bullets are flying, young men are dying
 He prays for the first crack of light
 And when he can finally slip into his dream
 She'll sweep on the sweet web she has woven
 And for a while they are one
 When she kisses the ship on his arm
 All of his sorrows unravel
 He knows he will come to another one
 Over all of the miles he has traveled
 Her love is an anchor
 Her love is forever
 It's true now her love is the charm
 When she kisses the ship on his arm
 ♪
 Blessed are they, these fearless young lovers
 Their lives are just barely begun
 Blessed is the day they return to each other
 After all of the battles are done
 And finally they are one
 When she kisses the ship on his arm
 And all of their sorrows unravel
 They've come through the eye of the storm
 Unafraid of the miles left to travel
 Their love is an anchor
 Love is forever
 It's true now that love is the truth
 When she kisses the ship on his arm
