Battlefield Nurse Lyrics

She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm when all around you things are getting worse oh
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm when all around you things are getting worse oh
Dying all around
Can i save
But one or two
He reaches out to touch me
It's the last thing
He'll ever do

Sometimes i feel like a battlefield nurse
It's a role that i was born for and did not need to rehearse
They say
Lady
Tell me
How bad is it
They grimace and curse
And i say
Don't worry soldier
Things could be a whole lot worse oh
I hold his body and wonder
Was this comfort that i gave
I felt him drowning in me
He believed he was being saved
So i told him
I am not
The battlefield nurse
I have never saved a soldier and the war keeps getting worse
There is no kindness to be found here
The nursemaid is a liar
She's the chauffer of your herse
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm when all around you things are getting worse
She's got eyes like a battlefield nurse
The kind that keep you calm
When all around you
All around you
All around you
Things are
Getting
Worse
No
