Lochinvar (Single Edit)

The Spanish moss hangs heavy in the trees
The scent of jasmine carried on the breeze
The bones of soldiers finally at peace
And Lochinvar is my home

I hear your voice as it whispers in the halls
I see your shadow thrown against the wall
the moment passes, there's nothing there at all
And Lochinvar is my home

You dance in lantern light from frame to frame
And never tell me I'm to blame
To blame
To blame

I left you here and went marching off to war
Like many millions marching off before
But here you battled
No bayonet or sword
And Lochinvar is your home

Through stone and timber and blood and bone
You wander eternally alone
Alone
Alone

A hundred mothers will rock upon the porch
Ten thousand soldiers will march into the North
Still Ebenezer walks, carrying his torch
Til Johnny comes marching home
Til all the Johnnies come marching home
And Lochinvar is his home
