Tonight

Words & Music: Adalyde Heloyz la Cantora
Purchase Adalyde's album Ultreia on Amazon

Tonight, I am praying to the stars
Hoping my love does the same
It's been five years since I've seen her pretty face
She's deserts and oceans away

The crops are coming in this time of year
And the trees are in full bloom
And I just hope that she's holding on still
Waiting for me to come home
Waiting for me to come home

Tonight, I am counting the stars
Making constellations of my own
I look upon my brothers who have all lost their faith
Crusaders, lost souls and alone

I'd hoped to have a farm and a family by now
Bouncing babes of my own
Baby girl on my knee and a few sons or three
All waiting for me to come home
All waiting for me to come home

Tonight, the stars are ablaze
As fire rains down from the sky
We swore to stand brave, swore to fight to the grave
And we fear we won't make it alive

I hear the soldiers whisper, I hear my brothers pray
Some from the bible and some from the heart
And some sing the songs that their forefathers bared
Hoping they'll all make it home
Hoping they'll all make it home

Tonight, I am praying to the stars
Hoping my love does the same
It's been ten years since I've seen her pretty face
She's deserts and oceans away
She's deserts and oceans away
She's deserts and oceans away...
