but who knows -------------------------------------------
I watched him walk down the path
watched him walk out of my life.
Couldn't believe that he'd be gone
for seven months of my life.
The car stops and he gets in
his face is grim as he looks back
he waves goodbye.
I try to smile
but I know it would only be invain
so I wave, as the tears roll down my face.
It hurts so much to see him go
but I know I couldn't stop him.
He says its his job
saving some other man for his country.
Its hard to understand
but still I try.
I don't complain
cause all I feel is proud.
I guess all these other marine's wife
must feel the same.
but who knows.
