Song For A Soldier lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Ooh...

Since you went away,

You can color me, colour me, colour me, colour me in grey

So I'm working on the words I want to say

I never knew, never knew, never knew your name

You're just my soldier, babe

You lost track of the days

They come and they go, and they come and they go

There's no way that I could keep up with it

And I pray

And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me

Ten thousand miles away

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

But goodnight

You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time

Till we're staring up at the same sky

And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line

Till my soldier's mine

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight

I don't care how long it takes

I'm not going anywhere, love (no)

You see there

This distance only makes me

Say it over and over till it gets to you

My soldier (ooh)

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

You're my soldier

Goodnight

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight (Goodnight)

Goodnight (Goodnight)

Goodnight, Goodnight

Goodnight, Goodnight

Mmm...
