Jarrod Dickenson - Bravery (a Bottle of Gin) lyrics

Daylight grows dim,
As his train pulls away, her head starts to spin.
He’s headed off to war
ADVERTISING
She didn’t say a word, just cried in his arms.
And they were to marry in June
But that’s just a dream, she tries not to lose.
She writes every day
And sends her love through the mail and prays he’s ok.
She knows supposed to be brave,
So she never lets on that she’s really afraid.
Day after day she grows tired,
Wonders if he will come home alive.
And there’s an old picture frame
She squeezes so tight, she won’t feel the pain
And there’s a bottle of gin
She keeps near at all times, 'case the bad news drives in She knows supposed to be brave
And so she never lets on that she’s really afraid
Every other day she breaks down
Wonders if he is above or below ground.
She knows she’s supposed to be brave,
And so she never let’s on that she’s really afraid.
Day after day she grows tired,
And prays that her soldier will come home alive
