Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh, somehow you'll know
You'll know, I'm thinking of your love
[Verse 2]
Slyly they whispered away
As I played the last post on the bugle
I heard them say, "Oh, that boy is no different today
Except in every single way"
[Verse 3]
If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh somehow you'll know
You'll just know
I'm thinking of your love
[Verse 4]
Oh, I was carried away
Caught up in an affray as they led him away, he sang
"We'll meet again someday
Oh, my boy, there's a price to pay"
[Verse 5]
If I have to go
I will be thinking of your love
Oh, somehow you'll know
I don't know how, but you'll know
I'm thinking of your love
[Verse 6]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 7]
So, so alone
Locked in a room, waiting till kingdom come
Although I felt elated, I felt like I was scum
I was carried away
Caught up in an affray as they led him away, he sang
"We will meet again someday
Oh, my boy, oh, there's a price to pay"
[Verse 8]
Feels like I've never been away
Though it's been longer than I could possibly say
I've been wandering the market, carryin' a sign
The end of the world is nigh
I am glad to see we're still tight
The bonds that tie a man are tight
Yet we do what we do
With ritual habituality
All through the night
