Armed & Ready
Postcards in my mailbox from wherever you are.
Mexican chocolate in winter.
In the desert.
Where nothing good can grow.
Tears from your eyes took the math out of our love.
You could feel again, if only for a minute.
You've been trained for war.
How to be stone cold in a firefight.
No one ever taught you how to fight for our love.
But baby, the bombs are bursting.
Grenades launching.
The enemy is closing in.
Sit tight.
Tonight, I'll be your soldier.
