Soldiers
We ran deep into the woods
from the other side of the wire
an enemy came with me.
Stripping our uniforms bare
we hid in the river
A mouthful of oxygen from an enemy's lung
And in an embrace ,
We floated in the liquid sky
Above us the fire flowered
With its thousand tongues
raving in riot.
We ran deeper and in the night we made a fire huddled around it
I sang a song
I don't think he understood a word
He liked it though
I can tell .
Deep in the woods
The enemy slept peacefully
as I kept guard
The fire weakened
I let it wane
And in a dim light
The movie started
In the forest ,
By the lake
I watched for hours
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman dance.
Deep in the woods,
We were all in Casablanca
(...
the fundamental things apply
As time goes by...)
