Ballad Of a Dead Man
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.
The Moon lights up over the battlefield now
With a blistering heat somehow
Lifeless limp and broken hearts are dead
They should have just stayed home instead
Stayed alive
Well, the letter arrives and glistens a mother's eyes
She wonders where when and why
She could have tucked him in his bed
With a kiss on the cheek and his head
He'd still lie
Well, the Moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong
Well, our boys are dead
They've been misled
Nothing more
The Sun wakes up
Brings sparkles in the morning light
Rubs her belly bows her head to cry
She lost him before they were wed
But he's there in her heart and her head
He'll stay alive
Oh, the Moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong
Well, our boys are dead
They've been misled
Nothing more
Well, the Moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong
Well, our boys are dead
They've been misled
Nothing more
The Moon lights up, over the battlefield now
