War Is Kind Lyrics - Seeing Things - Jakob Dylan

Mother you saw my eyes 

On the fourth of July 

Under a banner of roman candles 

Mother war is kind 

Like hell but I am fine 

Brother have you gone west? 

You followed through once yet 

You are still younger, how dare you forget? 

Brother war is best 

In the morning when you've had rest 

Like a lost dog between houses 

In the unknown open country 

Line up at dawn to see who's missing 

My age is a metaphor 

That only speaks of everything before 

Daughter you wear my name 

Those are my eyes, keep 'em raised 

I may have scars but I give more than I take 

Daughter war is safe 

Where you are far away 

Lover are you gone? 

My heart has taken too much on 

One octave lower than thunder it drums 

Lover war is done 

In more ways than just one 

Like a lost dog between houses 

In the unknown open country 

Like an outlaw now standing 

At the foot of infinity 

The sun is wild and just in front of me
