Here Alone
My dear husband
(sung)
Write a letter, be inventive
Tell you everything is fine
Be attentive to the distance
Send my love with every line
Every word should bring you closer
And caress you with its tone
Nothing should remind you
That I am here alone
I can't tell you what I'm feeling
I can't talk about the war
How the pealing of the church bells
Brings the battle to our door
I don't know which part is harder
What I know or what's unknown
Or raising little women
When I am here alone
Counting days, praying for news
Is this the life we meant to choose?
Do you know how much I miss you
At this hour of the day?
How I wish you were the twilight
Come to take my fears away
Can I manage four young women?
I'm not certain I know how
Will I be there when they need me?
Do I fail them even now?
Oh, I wish that you were with me
Wish that I could bring you home
Now that I am here alone
(sung)
Write a letter, be inventive
Tell you everything is fine
Be attentive to the distance
Send my love with every line
Every word should bring you closer
And caress you with its tone
Nothing should remind you
That I am here alone
I can't tell you what I'm feeling
I can't talk about the war
How the pealing of the church bells
Brings the battle to our door
I don't know which part is harder
What I know or what's unknown
Or raising little women
When I am here alone
Counting days, praying for news
Is this the life we meant to choose?
Do you know how much I miss you
At this hour of the day?
How I wish you were the twilight
Come to take my fears away
Can I manage four young women?
I'm not certain I know how
Will I be there when they need me?
Do I fail them even now?
Oh, I wish that you were with me
Wish that I could bring you home
Now that I am here alone
