When War Comes She Vanishes

About an imaginary woman.

Across the sea I see you
Across the sky I feel you.
Sitting in my room, alone, I sense you.
Don't know who you are but I get you.

You're not with me but I know you're about.
I dream of your company and for us to be joined.
Thoughts are clear, the dirt I cast out.
To say "I love you" is a phrase to be coined.

I take pride in knowing you're out there.
The waiting to find you is a thought I can share.
In my dreams you cover me, you don't turn your back.
In your dress, its white and its slack.

When war comes and you vanish.
I stand strong in a field the Sun tarnish.
When war comes and you vanish.
The strength of my soul gives me bandages.
