The Old Soldier's Song

original song, will have a story and a project to go with it someday, if all goes well...

Lyrics:

Another day just like before
Skies gray and cold
I've got a cast-off feeling
Maybe I'm just too old...
Rain, dripping down
Melts all the little towns
It's hard to go when someone waits
I've seen too much to trust in fate

It's been five years ago today
I said I'd stay
I packed my sword and shield up
And gave my gear away
We wed at last
Before the chance could pass
I thought we'd outrun destiny
Who knew that time would follow me?

But there's another road
Another race to run
Where has the sun gone?

A wind blows down the mountainside
Cold as good-bye
It used to mean adventure
But now it only sighs
If fate is kind
I'll leave this path behind
What good's a warrior, anyway,
When it's at home his heart must stay?
