When The War Closed

from Bo White Duo Select by Bo White

lyrics

When the war closed
We sold our arms for oxen
And delved back into the fields we had left
There are times when I see the faces of the fallen
Gazing from the soil as it clefts
The earth is no more forgiving than death

We will tend this valley singing songs
More than dirt and rust on these palms
Seasons come but bring no reasons for it

When the sun comes
I’m always up to greet it
As I rarely sleep the entire night
When the eyes close I go back into combat
Soldiers blazing in the sound and the light
I can’t remember now the reason we fight

We still tend this valley singing songs
More than dirt and rust on these palms
Seasons come but bring no reasons for it
