Ik Sta Op Wacht

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
