Timber, Nails and Tears

Lyrics

How could I forget your mother's face And the time it took to settle down? As she stood there in disbelief While off to war, I was bound I'll send you kisses across the water For I'd go mad if love weren't true It's hard to find someone to talk to Because over here, that's what the weapons do I won't send you timber, nails and tears Because, honey That kind of thing ain't for you I hope you're still running around the yard Picking red roses in the sun I know for you it's so damn hard To catch thе breath you'd never thought would run But springtimе, I know, is on the move Oh, how I miss that old cherry tree Tell me all the white blossoms have bloomed Because over here, that's one thing you never see I won't send you timber, nails and tears Because, honey That kind of thing ain't what you need
