Lovers Stand Alone

from Copper and Gold by Bill White

/

lyrics

Close your eyes and go to sleep
The curfew falls on ruined streets
Rise above your skin and bones
The gas rolls in and

Lovers stand alone Soldiers march together
Strangers in the trenches Chidren throwing stones

Seven doors of death And only one will open
to the road you hope to find
The other six just send you back
into the room you left behind

Soldiers in the trenches Children throwing stones
Strangers flock together Lovers stand alone

Piled high on the roof, every pair of shoes you wore
Every coat that kept you warm is spread out on the cellar floor

Hornets rest inside a nest
look how closely they are pressed
Like the music to the poem
Neither one can stand alone

Children in the trenches soldiers throwing stones
Strangers close together Lovers stand alone

Is this what you want
for your sons and daughters
another century of slaughter
Or can you set your mind to clear
All of your ignorace and fear?
