A gentle breeze blew on the meadow The flowers danced a waltz all day And the bees brought the birds' hymns To flutter about our ears There's always a cradle there Whenever I brush your windblown hair as you sit next to me A gentle fragrance surrounds me And without thinking, I kiss your hair We'd always meet here And I'd eat the lunches you made... But while I was out on the battlefield You grew up That promise got me home alive But now you're in someone else's arms And I'm alone The meadow's same old tenderness Gently surrounds me in my weary bewilderment We won the war, but I lost something precious What the hell have I been doing? The photo of you with your head against my shoulder I leave in the cradle When I read back over that one letter you sent me The loneliness I couldn't recognize at the time pours out Though I murmur "I'm sorry", there's nothing to be done about it now And my chest tightens painfully Ah, while I was out on the battlefield But now you're in someone else's arms And I'm alone
