Different Trains: II. Europe - During the War |
On my birthday |
The Germans walked |
Walked into Holland |
Germans invaded Hungary |
I was in second grade |
I had a teacher |
A very tall man, his head was completely plastered smooth |
He said, «Black Crows» |
«Black Crows invaded our country, many years ago» |
And he pointed right at me |
No more school |
You must go away |
And she said, «Quick, go!» |
And he said, «Don't breathe» |
Into the cattle wagons |
And for four days and four nights |
And then they went through these strange sounding names |
Polish-Polish names |
Lots of cattle wagons there |
They were loaded with people |
They shaved us |
They tattooed a number on our arm |
Flames going up in the sky |
It was smokey |
