I've heard the sound
of my dear old
Mama cryin
And the sound
of the train that took
me off to war
The awful sound
of a thousand
bombs exploding
And I wondered if I
could take it
anymore
There were times
when they almost
drove me crazy
But I did my best
and took it
like a man
But who would think
in my lonely room
I'd hear it
The one sound
in the world my
heart can't stand
To hear that sound
and to know
it's really over
Through tear-stained
eyes I watched
her walk away
And of earthquakes
storms and
guns and wars
Lord nothing has
ever hurt me more
than that lonely sound
The closing of the door
And of earthquakes
storms and
guns and wars
Lord nothing
ever hurt me more
than that lonely sound
The closing of the door
