lyrics

My mother told me about this man
Who stood in the woods
In the woods
He was waiting for his lover
To come back home
Come back home

But he didn’t know
That she was gone forever now
And he didn’t know
That she would never be back

‘Cause she’d been waiting for him
A thousand years or so
When he was in the war
When he stood up and fought

My mother told me about this man
Who was in the war
In the war
He wrote letters to his lover
Who wrote back
Who wrote back

But he didn’t know
That soon she wouldn’t reply
And he didn’t know
That she was in great despair

‘Cause she’d been waiting for him
Since the day he left
To go fight in the war
To go die in the war

My mother told me about this man
Who came back from the war
From the war
He wanted to see his lover
Who didn’t write to him
Anymore

But he didn’t know
That she was gone forever now
And he didn’t know
That she would never be back

‘Cause she’d been waiting for him
A thousand years or so
And she had no strength left
And she had no hope left
