Promise that you always will 
keep candles lit on the windowsill 
you know i'll be comin' home 
You know i never wanted to go away 
but what am i supposed to say 
when i hear the sounds of the trumpet call 
who says 
All is fair in love and war 
Your pictures kept close to my heart 
letters all but fall apart 
each night i read them over again 
You know i never wanted to go away 
but what am i supposed to say 
when i hear the sounds of the trumpet call 
who says 
You know i never wanted to go away 
i swear 
its war
