Patriot |
Whether forever, or never again |
I see you gone |
And now, I just want to be there with you |
Forever… |
How your eyes fell into mine |
And we stirred to find the world alive |
Like we couldn’t feel the decline… |
Old railroad, take me away to that time |
When men held something close |
The place where we touched the flame |
And burned slowly |
Before it all went up in smoke |
Smoke, stone, broken bones |
A hard place we called a home |
I saw with my own eyes us unraveling |
While others took to your side |
Men of priviledge and class |
They danced, they drank, they |
Robbed the whole place blind |
And drunk with Pride, you hurt, you stole |
But I still carried you home |
From the jungles, to the deserts, to the trenches' reddened snow |
So maybe Hell ain’t a place |
It’s a time, a time, a time when things move on |
Ain’t it a cryin' shame, that after all this we lived to see it gone |
Pieces in my hands |
Try’n to put ‘em back |
Just the way they were before |
How we tamed earth and broke rock just to bring us close |
20,000 miles of steel across the great unknown |
But you can’t put a fallen leaf back on its tree… |
Oh, say can’t you see |
That they’ve taken you from me |
All I wanted was to be there with you forever |
