No Man`s Land Lyrics - Singles - Anne Haigis

he was my brother born the day I left 

he took the mother lode and I took the rest 

he was a fighter, he was always in control 

he kept a candle burning way down in his soul 

shots fired in anger and a widow cries alone 

just one more mother's son who won't be coming home 

they speak in whispers there are riders to the east 

the blind man says mister bring a bottle and a priest 

that's the way it always goes 

that's the way it's always been 

who you are or what you know 

you're like a feather in the wind 

let the river wash you away 

reach the river if you can 

past the blue and past the grey 

all the way, all the way 

all the way to no man's land 

there was no shelter there was nowhere left to run 

they came like eagles screaming down out of the sun 

I heard the whistle sound the engine pulled away 

I saw my brother down and I left him where he lay 

some fight for honor there are those that fight for gold 

some die believing all the fairy tales they're told 

there are no heroes and there is no marching bang 

there are no miracles down here in no man's land 

that's the way it always goes 

that's the way it's always been 

who you are or what you know 

you're like a feather in the wind 

let the river wash you away 

reach the river if you can 

past the blue and past the grey 

all the way, all the way 

all the way to no man's land 

(let the river wash away) 

(let the river wash away) 

that's the way it always goes 

that's the way it's always been 

who you are or what you know 

you're like a feather in the wind 

let the river wash you away 

reach the river if you can 

past the blue and past the grey 

all the way, all the way 

all the way to no man's land 

(let the river wash away) let the river wash away 

(let the river wash away) let the river wash away 

(let the river wash away) let the river wash away 

let the river wash away 

let the river wash away
