| Lyrics: | 2,1,2,3,4.
The only girl I’ve ever loved
Was born with roses in her
eyes,
But then they buried her alive one evening 1945 with just her sister at her side
And
only weeks before the guns all came and rained on everyone,
Now she’s a little boy in
Spain playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun all sing to say my dream
has come.
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just
to keep ourselves at least enough to carry on.
And now we ride this circus
wheel,
With your dark brother wrapped in white,
Says it was good to be alive,
But now
he rides a comet’s flame and won’t be coming back again,
The Earth looks better
from a star that’s right above from where you are,
He didn’t mean to make you cry
with sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart the world just screams
and falls apart.
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to
love
Just to keep ourselves at least enough to carry on.
And here’s where
your mother sleeps,
And here is the room where your brothers were born,
Indentions in the
sheets,
Where their bodies once moved but don’t move any more.
And it’s so
sad to see the world agree that they’d rather see their faces fill with flies,
All when
I’d want to keep white roses in their eyes |
