Like A Soldier Lyrics

With the twilight colors falling and the evening laying shadows Hidden memories come stealing from my mind As I feel my own heart beating out The simple joy of living I wonder how I ever was that kind
But the wild road I was rambling was always out there calling You said a hundred times I should have died Then you came down and touched me and lifted me up with you So, I believe it was a road I was meant to ride
I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore, I'm like a soldier getting over the war
Nights and days that I'd remembered and pain it's been forgotten And other things I choose not to recall There are faces that come to me that I thought were long forgotten Faces that I wish would not come back at all
But in my dreams parade of lovers from the other times and places There's not one that matters now, no matter who I'm just thankful for the journey and that I survived the battles And that my reward for victory is you
I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore, I'm like a soldier getting over the war
