Ellen Foley - My Legionnaire lyrics

He had the brightest color eyes
And they would flash from time to time
Like lightning ‘cross the stormy skies
He was covered with tattoos
That I never understood
On his neck: Unknown, still free
On his heart: No one
His right arm read: Reason

I don’t know his name or who he was
Just that he loved me through
The night – my legionnaire!
And so he left me to my fate
And so he left my door with morning light
He was slim and he was handsome
And he smelled likе desert
Sand – my legionnairе!
The sun so bright up in the sky
Lighting up the blondness of his hair

Lost happiness that’s run away
Now I’m thinking of that night
And now desire drives me mad
Sometimes I cry, and then I knew
That when I lay against his heart
I should have shouted all my joy
But, I never said a word
I was afraid to see him smile!

They found him in the desert sand
The brightest eyes were open wide
A cloud ran across the sky
Bearing his tattoos they read
And a smile upon those lips that said
With his neck: Unknown, still free
On his heart: No one
His right arm said one word: Reason

And so I dream that destiny
Will someday bring him back to
Me – my legionnaire!
Then we will travel past the sea
And find a land so full of life, so far away
He was slim and he was handsome
Now he’s buried in the desert
Sand – my legionnaire!
The sun so high up in the sky
Lighting up the blondness of his hair
