Absence Without Leave

The midsummer eve

In Tel-aviv

A young naive

Pregnant lady

Would conceive

The son of brave soldier Shiv

He said his arrival was near

When he called his dear

Then in a glimpse and sound

A bomb went down

It became clear to her

that the future of their child was unsure

It took days

Before she got a letter

She hoped for good times ahead

Or at least better

But it was a fine from the military

She wiped her tears from her sleeve

And read it

Unable to really believe

They demanded money for her husband's absence without leave
