Saint For A Soldier
(A song for Abby From Josh)
Words And Music By: James Vincent Carroll, 2018
Far away land. Gun in my hand. Dying to live.
Pictures of you bandage my heart, close to my skin.
Will I see you again?
Saint for a soldier. Hear my battle cry.
A compass to guide me on through the nights
You are the queen for this Viking King
When I fall down you’re there to lift me
To fight by my side through the wars in my mind
And lead me to peace
Blank canvas again
The brush in your hand has covered this man
No more black and white
You’ve painted this life that we now live in
Will you stay ’til the end?
Saint for a soldier. You my battle cry.
A compass to guide me on through the nights
You are the queen for this Viking King
When I fall down you’re there to lift me
To fight by my side through the wars in my mind
And lead me to peace
Just like our first kiss under the moon
we started it all as I sang to you.
No one can love me the way that you do.
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
