Phil Keaggy Album: The Uncle Duke Project Track: Poem Without A Name Poem Without A Name Lyrics A purty girl lay on the beach One bright mid-summer day She'd just lay and stare out on the lake And pine her heart away Now you can tell that she was lonesome Her brow was wrinkled deep A little tear was in her eye She hadn't had much sleep In her hand she held a letter From far across the sea 'Twas an old high school boyfriend He was her cup of tea He's the boy who keeps her waiting The boy for whom she weeps The boy that will come back to her And have her love for keeps Now I'd give my life if I could have Her waiting home for me I'd gladly do my duty In some foreign country Now when you read this you may think That I'm a little melancholy So all I'll say, is that I'll pray For him to make her happy Now as soon as this old war is over And I'm a free man I'm coming home to see you And offer you my hand Please write to me and think of me Just a little if you can I send my love to you A love that never ends. Words by David "Uncle Duke" Keaggy, Music by Phil Keaggy
