The North Rocks - Evermore Lyrics

He went off today
The battlefield awaits
She hopes that he will be back

Daily life goes on
She's thinking through the day
Sometimes her thoughts are getting black

She said:
I wanna love you for evermore
I'll never let you go
Please come home and make it sure
Promise you'll be back before the snow

Will they be in the sun
Or in cold trenches they may lay
Hoping that someday they'll get out

It's been nearly six months
No message and no signs
Hope starts to fade
Without a doubt

She said:
I wanna love you for evermore
I'll never let you go
Please come home and make it sure
Promise you'll be back before the snow

Somebody is coming to the door
Will it be him
She falls down on the floor
Not ready for a message grim

A voice says to her
Please rise and look at me
I'm back and I'm alive
I want you to see

Yes I've been away
But I promised to be back someday
I know it's been a while can you forgive me

I won't be leaving I'll stay
So you won't have to pray
Now I wanna sing you some poetry

He said:
I wanna love you for evermore
I'll never let you go
I'm staying home and I am sure
I'll be here before and after the snow
