Yes I’m afraid 
But not of this damn war 
Leaving you alone like this 
Worries me much more 
I know you believe in it 
I’m leaving to defend 
Maybe if we do it now 
I won’t have to leave again 

Come…hold me close tonite 
Til the morning light 
Babe I’ll be alright 
So…when I’m in the fight 
I know you’ll be alright 
Hold me close tonite

It won’t be so long 
I’ll come back to you 
Write to me and let me know 
Everything that you do 
Tell me ‘bout the kids 
And how they’re getting on 
With any luck this all will end 
And I’ll be coming home 

Come…hold me close tonite 
Til the morning light 
Babe I’ll be alright 
So…when I’m in the fight 
I know you’ll be alright 
Hold me close tonite
