I HEARD THE SOUND
OF MY DEAR
OLD MAMA CRYIN'
AND THE SOUND
OF THE TRAIN
THAT TOOK ME OFF
TO THE WAR
AND 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
I 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 WATCH HER
WALK AWAY
AND OF EARTHQUAKES
STORMS
GUNS AND WARS
LORD NOTHIN'
HAS EVER HURT
ME MORE
THAN THAT
LONELY SOUND
OF THE CLOSING
OF THE DOOR
AND OF EARTHQUAKES
STORMS
GUNS AND WARS
LORD NOTHIN'
HAS EVER HURT
ME MORE
THAN THAT
LONELY SOUND
THE CLOSING
OF THE DOOR
