Can you hear those birds sing?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Means we're closer to shore
|
||
|
|
Means we're closer to home
|
||
|
|
Further from love and war
|
||
|
|
Further from what made sense
|
||
|
|
What we were born to do
|
||
|
|
What kept the blood in our veins
|
||
|
|
Keep my veins thin with booze
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept my hand on my gun
|
||
|
|
And my gun by my side
|
||
|
|
Kept the moon in my thoughts
|
||
|
|
With the sun in my eyes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept my head hanging low
|
||
|
|
Kept my gun by my side
|
||
|
|
My brother's name in my head
|
||
|
|
And the tears from my eyes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
Brother's name in my head
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Had me praying for death
|
||
|
|
For me and my friends
|
||
|
|
So we would never wake up
|
||
|
|
To our lovers again
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because every lover had lied
|
||
|
|
When they said we'd be fine
|
||
|
|
When they said in good faith
|
||
|
|
They would sleep alone every night
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hope to come home in one piece
|
||
|
|
With our boys by our side
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now we're ragged and the torn
|
||
|
|
Like the flags that we fly
|
||
|
|
Like the ones we lay down
|
||
|
|
On a coffin so clean
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See those eyes staring back
|
||
|
|
The boys we used to be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
(I re-read the postcards you sent, wish the truth was a lie)
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
(The waves on the hull, throw your words off the side)
|
||
|
|
Brother's name in my head
|
||
|
|
(The ship takes the deed and dying back home)
|
||
|
|
And the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
(I want to sing to the depths, with the letters you wrote)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
Brother's name in my head
|
||
|
|
And the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kept the blood in my veins
|
||
|
|
|
||
