Laying low in the darkness    A long slow pain beats deep in her chest   And she wonders if he's safe tonight    Or if he's warm enough   And she tries to send upon the wind   A song of her love      Well a hundred miles away or more   A man learns what he's worth   A canon fires his body flies   Ashes to the earth   Far away something stirs a woman from her sleep   Flutters at her windowsill and she begins to weep      Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning   Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone   White dove tell my love all there is to say   Oh white dove fly fly away      Well a hundred miles away or more   This wind becomes a storm   Another soldier closed his eyes   And slowly becomes warm   Turns his eyes to the sky from where he's laying low   There he sees the white dove lying in the snow       Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning   Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone   White dove tell my love all there is to say   Oh white dove fly fly away
