A Tired Army

Wake me up in the cold grey morning
Wrap me up in the web of light
We have all grown tired of waiting

Hide away, come with me
Words of love bursting free
In the night, we will fade
Nothing will remain

See the boats out there in the harbor
See the smoke rising to the sky
Paper dolls burning in the fire
Burn away, hollowed out inside

Things will come, things will go
Some will die in the row
Flames will reach to the sky
But cars keep rolling by

Fell asleep like a tired army
I am lost in the world tonight
