[00:15.006]The only girl I've ever loved[00:19.740]Was born with roses in her eyes[00:24.532]Until they buried her alive[00:26.858]One evening 1945[00:29.276]With just her sister at her side[00:31.796]And only weeks before the guns[00:34.303]All came and rained on everyone[00:36.417]Now she's a little boy in Spain[00:38.928]Playing pianos filled with flames[00:41.421]On empty rings around the sun[00:43.896]All sing to say my dream has come[00:49.539]But now we must pick up every piece[00:54.511]Of the life we used to love[00:59.280]Just to keep ourselves[01:02.450]At least enough to carry on[01:10.336]And now we ride the circus wheel[01:15.040]With your dark brother wrapped in white[01:19.731]Says it was good to be alive[01:22.162]But now he rides a comet's flame[01:24.737]And won't be coming back again[01:27.069]The Earth looks better from a star[01:29.483]That's right above from where you are[01:31.876]He didn't mean to make you cry[01:34.272]With sparks that ring and bullets fly[01:36.681]On empty rings around your heart[01:39.155]The world just screams and falls apart[01:44.475]But now we must pick up every piece[01:49.589]Of the life we used to love[01:54.316]Just to keep ourselves[01:57.787]At least enough to carry on[02:03.882]And here's where your mother sleeps[02:08.523]And here is the room where your brothers were born[02:13.224]Indentions in the sheets[02:17.694]Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore[02:23.033]And it's so sad to see the world agree[02:28.611]That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies[02:32.783]All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
