Lyrics
Country
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We know that for many years there's been no country here
Nothing here but the war, and again and again we say
I'm not ready for this, I am not ready for this
Over and over and over, I'm really not ready at all
In a pub on a night off, a man is talking of cars
A girl is ill in a bar and again and again she says
I'm not ready for this, I am not ready for this
Over and over and over, I'm really not ready at all
Did you see me? Did you touch me?
I didn't even know you were here
this night must end, night will come again
How long will I lie here?
They'll wonder where I've gone
They'll wonder where I've gone
They'll wonder
This night must end, night will come again
How long will I lie here?
Did you see me? Did you touch me?
I didn't even know you were here
They'll wonder where I've gone
They'll wonder where I've gone
They'll wonder where I've gone
