|
Sound the bells in the town, for the soldiers have come back around |
|
Just to find that there's nothing left |
|
And the girl in the dress wears her hair in a permanent mess |
|
So that no one can see her eyes wet |
|
She had waited for months, 'til she falsely heard that her soldier was crushed |
|
And her world came crashing down |
|
But he was still on the battlefield, trying to pretend that it wasn't real |
|
And holding a picture of her as men fell to the ground |
|
Sinking hands on the gun, and she's the only one |
|
Who can save him today |
|
But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts |
|
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight |
|
So he's feeling her heart, and it takes him right back to the start |
|
Like a bottled letter out to sea |
|
And the fog seems to rise, for all he can see is Lillian's eyes |
|
On a bright September's day |
|
He laid down to rest his bones, and when he awoke, all the bullets had blown |
|
And the bodies; oh the bodies fell still |
|
Now he saw the only way: walk through the valley all night and all day |
|
Hoping to follow his feet back to her |
|
Sinking hands on the gun, and she's the only one |
|
Who can save him today |
|
But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts |
|
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight |
|
(Johnny walk a little bit faster |
|
Get back to the woman you love) |
|
But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts |
|
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight |
|
(Johnny walk a little bit faster |
|
Get back to the woman you love) |
|
But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts |
|
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight |
|
(Johnny walk a little bit faster |
|
Get back to the woman you love) |
|
Pushed and pulled apart |
|
Pushed and pulled apart |
|
(Johnny walk a little bit faster |
|
Get back to the woman you love) |
|
Pushed and pulled apart |
