I have hurt you with a bullet from my tongue  My eyes have fired a shot much like a gun  I want to undo the things i've done  But i'm paralysed    The sword that i use is worn with rust  These weapons of war should turn to dust  I'm a benedict arnold you can't trust  Please don't hang me now    Chorus:  I was wounded on the battleground you see  And my blinded eyes they could not see  So i'm holding out the white flag on my knees  I will retreat    I've been digging in these trenches for so long  And the hole i'm sitting in is deep as sin  And this war's been dragging on for so long  Who ever wins?    Chorus    Well the smoke on the plain has slowy drifted  It's been a long time since i've seen a sunny day  And the veil over my eyes has been lifted  It's fallling away    Chorus:  I am leaving the battleground you see  And i'm hoping you'll leave here with me  So i''m crying out baby on my knees  Come and retreat  Yes i'm crying out baby on my kness  Come and retreat
