Fleurie

I loved and I loved and I lost you.
I loved and I loved and I lost you.
I loved and I loved and I lost you.
And it hurts like hell.

Soldier keep on marchin' on
Head down til the work is done.
Waiting on that morning sun
Soldier keep on marchin' on.

Head in the dust, feet in the fire
Labor on that midnight wire.
Listening for that angel choir
You got nowhere to run.

How can I say this without breaking,
How can I say this without taking over,
How can I put it down into words
When it's almost too much for my soul alone.

I don't want them to know the secrets,
I don't want them to know the way I loved you.
I don't think they'd understand it, no.
I don't think they would accept me, no.

Dreams fight with machines
Inside my head like adversaries.
Come wrestle me free,
Clean from the war
Your heart fits like a key.
Into the lock on the wall
I turn it over, I turn it over,
But I can't escape
I turn it over, I turn it over.
