The Curtain

[foot soldier]

The curtain opens on a perfect scene
Her hand is small in his
He's a callous sort of quiet
Gentle but a giant
His heart is still so sweet
She thinks she loves him
They've only just begun
They begin, they're one
He takes, she gives
A child and a man
She's foolish and he knows it
He loves her for it, he thinks
But he wonders then wanders
He turns back because he's never done
There's a pretty girl with hair so red
Eyes so blue and a place in his bed
He drops her small hand
He breaks her heart
It's all over just at the start
The curtain closes and so ends the dream
