lyrics

A thousand angry bombs they fall
Upon a thousand foreign shores
A thousand bunkered generals plot
The gravestones of a thousand more

Come to me my darling one
We'll build our castle in the sun
By the shade of the maple tree
I know one day that you will come to me

One hundred men do barely sleep
They march through paddies six feet deep
An unknown schedule to keep
As death claims all around their feet

Come to me my lovely one
Leave not what's been left undone
By the willows near the sea
That day is soon that you will come to me

Ten soldiers walk a jungle track
One hundred pounds upon their back
Their eyes show more than they can tell
They lived their lives on earth in hell

Come to me my only one
The time is near; it has begun
By the way you look at me
You're telling that you will come to me

O lonely mother cries in vain
Another soul expires in pain
A single soldier cries to sleep
And prays the Lord his soul to keep

Come to me my lonely one
And we'll find pleasure in the sunday
By this winding road we'll see
One day you will come to me

Come to me my darling one
We'll build our castle in the sun
By the shade of that maple tree
I know one day that you will come to me
