lyrics

Bruised Up and skinny as a stray
No one I know so underpaid
Been around the block about a 100 times today

Love soldiers on, love soldiers on.
There’s nothing you can do, love soldiers on.

Lock it out and don’t return its call,
Swear you’ve never seen its face at all,
Throw it in the river, lose it in the storm,
It will show up in its bandages tomorrow at your door.

I know you’ve been hurt before, but it’s beat up even more.
Scars you’ve never seen before, from every country and every war.

You think that love is lost.
You’re swear you’ve run it off.
But it hardly asks for nothing, it’s got courage like the wind
Out there in the streetlights waiting to come in

Love soldiers on, love soldiers on.
There’s noting you can do, love soldiers on.
