Nurse Nightengale

Leeches and lizards are all in my shoe,
To the loveliest lady if only you knew,
I cannot quite tell you how much I've been through,
I just want you to know that I only love you.

I've got scars and cuts from all but our cat,
My life like my money I don't know where it's at,
But when you read me your songs once you sat,
My heart will be yours you can be certain of that.

One of my eyes was bleeding all over the floor,
I can't remember why I fought in that war,
My body was wrecked but you healed all my sores,
Your kindness and love warms me to the core.

Leeches and lizards are all in my shoe,
To the loveliest lady if only you knew,
I cannot quite tell you how much I've been through,
I just want you to know that I only love you.
