Lyrics

[Chorus] She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse The kind that keep you calm When all around you things are getting worse, oh She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse The kind that keep you calm When all around you things are getting worse, oh [Verse 1] Dying all around me Can I save but one or two? He reaches out to touch me It's the last thing he'll ever do And sometimes I feel like a battlefield nurse It's a role that I was born for and did not need to rehearse They say "Lady, tell me How bad is it?" They grimace and curse And I say "don't worry, soldier Things could be a whole lot worse, oh" [Verse 2] I hold his body and wonder Was this comfort that I gave? I felt him drowning in me He believed he was being saved So I told him "I am not the battlefield nurse I have never saved a soldier and the war keeps getting worse There is no kindness to be found here These eyes are just a curse The nursemaid is a liar She's the chauffer of your herse" [Chorus] She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse The kind that keep you calm When all around you things are getting worse She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse The kind that keep you calm when all around you All around you... All around you... Things are getting worse, oh
