Beth - Dawn Fung
Sweet little Beth
Who thought nothing of time
Kissed the young man who stood
Outside her door every night
He had said he'd never leave hernor
Sail on their wedding day
For the wife of a soldier
Who fought in the war
Every man for himself or for her
Empty words on the streets
From the ships that return
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
Letters in frames
Told the evergreen tale
Zand his bride left behind
With a child she swore to bring up
Beth agreed to another hand
For the wife of a soldier
Who fought in the war
Every man for himself or for her
Empty words on the streets
From the ships that return
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
Scarred season arms
Pulled her young son aboard
Who'd forgotten to read
The duty he signed up for
Hear the cry of dear old Beth
Who now grieves by the empty shore
For the wife of a soldier
Who fought in the war
Every man for himself or for her
Empty words on the streets
From the ships that return
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
For the wife of a soldier
Who fought in the war
Every man for himself or for her
Empty words on the streets
From the ships that return
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
He'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
