Elisha Keen - Love Soldier

So go - go and waste your time away with hers
instead of mine
and I assure you: I'll be fine
and birds will sing and sun will shine
and really, all it takes is time
so play our song and drink our wine
and I'll be what you left behind
but I am fine! I am fine.

You were never one for thoughtfulness or compliments. You were never big on holding my hand.
Your love was a tough love
and me, your favorite soldier,
rewarded, once your wrath incurred
if I could still stand.

Well, what's this I see?
Perhaps a shift in gear
or maybe in interest.
Have I not catered to your every fucking need?
It seems that she is eager
and less tired than I
so here I sit on the sidelines
dropping to my knees...

So go - go and waste your time away with hers
instead of mine,
and I assure you: I'll be fine
and birds will sing and sun will shine
and really, all it takes is time
so play our song and drink our wine
and I'll be what you left behind
but I am fine! I am fine.

You knew well
I would not arrive unless you'd take me with you
(I could never make a decent entrance on my own).
I sat and waited to be rescued
and you knew well and still decided
to leave me all alone...

So go - go and waste your time away with hers
instead of mine,
and I assure you: I'll be fine
and birds will sing and sun will shine
and really, all it takes is time
so play our song and drink our wine
and I'll be what you left behind
but I am fine! I am fine.

Well, I've got my bottle and I've got my pride.
I'll find me a place to go and
hide
because tonight you are not mine.
I've got my bottle and some time to kill
just waiting for this
glass to fill and wondering if I am still
your love soldier.

Oh, so go - go and waste your time away with hers
instead of mine,
and I assure you: I'll be fine
and birds will sing and sun will shine
and really, all it takes is time
so play our song and drink our wine
and I'll be what you left behind
but I am fine! I am fine.
