We sit in the moonlight our hearts full of love
As the salt water breezes roll in from the sea
In our souls there is peace though sadly we know
That the army has called me and I would not go
Tomorrow they'll come and I must depart
To spend 3 years in prison for refusing to fight
To fight in a war where all men must be brave
So that they can kill, all life for to save
So come sit down here by me together we'll be
Lovers this evening, though soon I must leave
I'll hug you and kiss you and promise you this
That when 3 years have passed I'll sit by you again.
