Текст песни: The War + перевод

In the cold

We spent the night

On the floor

With the great old pines

When the storm came alive

I took your hand

And I closed my eyes…

And you cut your hair

And you broke the mirror

The one that we shared

Then you moved away

To another time

I was always there

But you were always fine

The faces up on the wall

Do they protect us

If we should fall

The faces up on the wall

Do they protect us

If we should fall

In the war

We were sent overseas

We were both seventeen

But we crossed our eyes

And we lost our tease

And they took our hands

(tell me on the way home)

And they bound our feet

(I loved it when you said that)

For another road

(Even when we lost you)

To another defeat

(I knew you’d always come back)

And I was still shaking

With the words that you said

When you told me that we would

Always be friends

The faces up on the wall

Do they protect us

If we should fall

The faces up on the wall

Do they protect us

If we should fall

In a home

Something like you’d have had

I’m a father

But I’ll never be their dad

When I take their hands

I imagine they’re yours

Like it’s the house that raised us

Its shivering floors

And I’m still waiting

For that storm to die

'Cause I know that it’s your way

Of saying goodbye
