This is for the heavy-hearted Those who've left their love behind And who have seen Those who know how pain can be Sorrow that can't be unwind Despair of the whole mankind This love's killing me He's gone fighting for his homeland Far away across the sea Desert and sand Once I stood beside my man We had all eternity Tell me why he had to leave This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide I'm his forgotten bride Years have passed and wars are outdone Men came home and wounds were healed Except for one My dear love is yet to come Destiny's thus can't be sealed Fighting my own battlefield This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide I'm his forgotten bride Once hand in hand There I stood beside my man We had all eternity Tell me why he had to leave This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide I'm his forgotten bride
