"A Heartsick Soldier On A Heartbreak Ridge" lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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
