Love Soldiers On - Tift Merritt

Bruised Up and skinny as a stray

No one I know so underpaid

Been around the block about a 100 times today

Won’t leave you alone, no matter what you say

Love soldiers on, love soldiers on

There’s nothing you can do, love will soldier on

Lock it out and don’t return its call

Swear you’ve never seen its face at all

Throw it in the river, lose it in the storm

It will show up in its bandages tomorrow at your door

I know you’ve been hurt before, but it’s beat up even more

Scars you’ve never seen before, from every country and every war

You think that love is lost

You’re swear you’ve run it off

But it hardly asks for nothing, it’s got courage like the wind

Out there in the streetlights waiting to come in

Love soldiers on, love soldiers on

There’s noting you can do, love soldiers on
