All they know. Is when we fight. They never see us. In the lovin' times. . What do they know?. They don't know a thing. . And they don't know. How the laughter flies.
A silent call from a distant land. Crying for a helping hand, so. How long will it go on?. Ignorance and vanity. Supercede humanity, so. How long it will go on?.
Tonight I've been counting railroad cars. Clinking and grinding into the dark. One of them passed with an open door. And I pictured myself jumping on board.
One Had vision. One came bringing its doom. One saw napalm. One heard the man in the moon. We were children of promise. We were heirs to their dreams.
Maybe it was me who said that I would wait forever. Yeah, but it was you who said, "It wouldn't take that long". I sleep alone and wonder if you're comin' back.
