Ik Sta Op Wacht
Joop de Knegt
I'm on Guard Duty
I'm on guard duty
And think of you
You wrote me off
Did not remain faithful to me
Even a soldier's heart
Is not made of stone
Why did you write that letter
And leave me so alone
I'm on guard duty
My heart aches
If I get leave
There will be no one at the train
I had hoped
That you would wait for me
But suddenly you
Had different thoughts
I was mistaken about you
My marjoram
It's not easy
To be alone again
Even a soldier's heart
Is not made of stone
Why did you write that letter
And leave me so alone
I'm on guard duty
My heart aches
If I get leave
There will be no one at the train
At the barracks gate
I stand there dreaming
I see girls come and go
You are no longer there
My marjoram
As it was
It will never be again
I'm on guard duty
My heart aches
If I get leave
There will be no one at the train
