| I earned my purple heart | |
| At the foot of her command | |
| Before I had a chance to take a stand | |
| I quit my ditch and ran | |
| To the furthest city | |
| Disinfected the wounds with alcohol | |
| I thought it would go away | |
| If I didn't stay | |
| But it burns like an eternal napalm fire | |
| In every crowded place | |
| In every song we play | |
| There is always a darken echo of a voice | |
| I thought it would go away | |
| If I didn't stay there | |
| But it burns like an eternal napalm fire | |
| Deep within me in ocean sleep | |
| With her arms securely rapped around me | |
| We fall with nowhere to land | |
| Cause our bruise be stolen | |
| Hearts stand gloaming | |
| My purple heart | |
| We went and came again | |
| Road's long when we carpet it | |
| Like a flake of snow she melted in my hand |
