Why Should I Be Lonely

Lyrics
WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY
Here I am alone again, why should I be lonely
Here I am alone again, oh why should I be lonely
We gathered ‘neath a leaden sky, 200 boys in grey
Unsuspecting sons and fathers proudly marched away
To defend our farms and families, all that we held dear
That’s the day I had to leave you lonely
Here I am alone again, why should I be lonely
Here I am alone again, oh why should I be lonely
I saw cannonballs, and horses fall in fields awash with blood
The nighttime screamed with enemies, some were kin to us
And the only thought that kept me sane in the dying and the mud
Was that I’d return and you would not be lonely
Here I am alone again, why should I be lonely
Here I am alone again, oh why should I be lonely
If you read this letter dear, you’ll know that I am gone
I’m waiting on the other side, my love lives on
And I’ll be watching over you, you’ll never be alone
The last thing I would do is leave you lonely
Here I am alone again, why should I be lonely
Here I am alone again, oh why should I be lonely
Why should I be lonely
