Once upon a moonlit night, as I pondered the paper, white
That one last fallen letter, from my late and great amour
While I sat, quietly humming, from far away there came a drumming
As if some ghostly voice a-calling, calling all on earth to war
“’Tis nothing but the wind a-calling” I murmur “calling all on earth to war
But here I wait for my lost amour
That time in blustery September that I so clearly remember
As it was the last September, before the war was nothing more
Earnestly I sort the morning;-as I saw the page adorning
The name of whom I was mourning, mourning since not long before
Whose death I’d dreaded, since we wedded, I’d heard of not long before
But who I’ll mourn for evermore
And the silent night emerging into dawn that I was urging
Thrilled me – filled me with delight and magic that I’d never felt before
But until then, its glory waiting, for my pain to start abating
So long I waited, anticipating, anticipating my life once more
When the time was right for life to start, anticipating my life once more
And where to go forevermore
And then at last my heart grew stronger and its resistance lasted longer
Before my last dying breaths it’s beating all the more
On that night I thought life had ended but my mind at last was mended
And so I wait ‘til time has ended so I live forevermore
It’s time to start to forget it all so I live forevermore
My life begins here like before
Time has past my pain has faded in memory of years I’ve wasted
But that long night I’ve long remembered will haunt me still evermore
A time when pain over came more who loved and lost in that Great War
The time had come for change and pain to be forgotten evermore
Every thought of pain and woe to be forgotten evermore
The time for life is at the door
