Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm tired and weary, forgotten and blue With only one question in mind How long, oh how long, till I'm back home again With the sweetheart that I left behind [Chorus] I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge Across from the river of sighs Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound Of a poor lonely heart when it cries [Verse 2] Does the girl I love know I miss her tonight And how often I mention her name Does she know how I long for the sound of her voice And the love letters that never came [Chorus] I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge Across from the river of sighs Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound Of a poor lonely heart when it cries [Verse 3] Will my prayers be answered on Heartbreak Ridge Will the one that I love still be true Does she count the hours until I return My poor heart could rest if I knew [Chorus] I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge Across from the river of sighs Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound Of a poor lonely heart when it cries
