Watershed - From Where I Stand Lyrics

Tuesday came from far away
There they stand out in the rain
Pack a bag you're going away
To take the life of another man

I gotta leave behind this love of mine
Subject to my life and time
I reach out to touch your hand
You're beautiful from where I stand

Bring to me my daily breath
It's all I have from day to day
We sit beside the firelight
And think of home and warm delight

Soldiers in a battle zone
Keep reaching out to save a soul
I write a note, to you I send
Will it reach your loving hand

Tears of joy roll down your face
You're holding on for his embrace
You reach out to touch my hand
You’re beautiful from where I stand

Send me home, don't hesitate
We don't belong in wars embrace
I've seen the fall of a thousand souls
I lay them down, both young and old

Then one day near the end
I took a bullet to my head
As I went down all I said
Is you’re beautiful from where I stand

And tears lace out upon your face
You lift my head and wait in bliss
Hold me darling, hold me
We beautiful even under fear

I believe the day will come when you and me will carry on
I'll belong with you someday
I'm waiting here and here I'll stay

Tears of joy run down my face
I know I'll be with you someday
I reach out to touch your hand
You’re beautiful from where I stand
You’re beautiful from where I stand
You’re beautiful from where I stand
