Six White Horses

<p>Come here and look through the window Marie<br/>Open up the shutters, tell me what you see?<br/>Was that his knock that I heard at the door<br/>Or is it six white horses coming down the road?<br/>Come here and touch me and say that it&#x27;s alright<br/>You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights<br/>Read again the letter that tells me where he&#x27;s gone<br/>To hell with the fighting, I want my son home<br/>I taught him to fish and I taught him to be strong<br/>I taught him that killing any man was wrong<br/>But tomorrow in battle I&#x27;d run to where he stood<br/>If the help of a blind man would do any good<br/>Last night I went to his room for awhile<br/>I&#x27;ve touched all the things that he used as a child<br/>I rocked the cradle where he used to lay<br/>I found his tin soldiers and threw them away<br/>Come here and look through the window Marie<br/>Open up the shutters, tell me what you see<br/>Was that his knock that I heard at the door<br/>Or is it six white horses coming up the road?
