War Nurse Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
She was just another war nurse
She could strike a noble pose
Caring for our young boys when a bullet laid them low
She would hover over them and cry
And pull the cover over them when they'd die
She was just another lonesome lady, lover, sister of the gun
And though france would call her darling,
She was a nurse 'neath the rising sun
She knew no hells or heavens, or harbors or havens
She was every mother, sister, wife and lover
Whose love a soldier boy was savin'
She believed in the birth of the broad sword
She was not a shielded one
Though france would call her darlin'
She was nurse 'neath the rising sun
She was a soldier's shrapnel sweetheart, direct from the combat zone
She was a reincarnation o fthe virgin mary
She was the hooker down in san antone
And though her heart was somewhere in iceland
Commanding the dawn patrol
Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones
The war nurse left her soul
Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones
The war nurse left her soul
She was just another war nurse   She could strike a noble pose   Caring for our young boys when a bullet laid them low   She would hover over them and cry   And pull the cover over them when they'd die   She was just another lonesome lady, lover, sister of the gun   And though france would call her darling,   She was a nurse 'neath the rising sun   She knew no hells or heavens, or harbors or havens   She was every mother, sister, wife and lover   Whose love a soldier boy was savin'   She believed in the birth of the broad sword   She was not a shielded one   Though france would call her darlin'   She was nurse 'neath the rising sun   She was a soldier's shrapnel sweetheart, direct from the combat zone   She was a reincarnation o fthe virgin mary   She was the hooker down in san antone   And though her heart was somewhere in iceland   Commanding the dawn patrol   Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones   The war nurse left her soul   Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones   The war nurse left her soul
