Soldier

from As A Ghost by Dylan Wright

/

lyrics

When I was your soldier, I went in to fight
when I was your boulder, I held it down all night
when I was the keeper, I swore I'd never tell
when I was the reaper, I swore I'd give you hell

When I was your shade tree, you hid beneath my limbs
when I was your river, I taught you how to swim
when I was your appetite I gave you my skin and bone
when I was your mountain high, you sat upon my throne

When I called you brother, I felt it from the start
when I called you lover, I meant it with all my heart
but when you took another, I fell to the floor
and when you called him lover, I walked out the door
