about

guest vocal by Dick Smith

lyrics

That night the old man died
I was still cutting my teeth as a child.
They told me "son, this is how it goes"
"but it's not how it’s supposed to be”
There goes a man with the stains of
blood and sand
broke his back planting flags in the oil land
ten years under foreign sun
is a life not yet begun
cause open mouths and empty stomachs
still had to be fed
And a man with war on his side, isn’t enough
until he comes home dead.

no matter how hard we try
the things we want still pass us by
happiness is just a lie

they said
"it's real when shared"
but we got no one
no one’s there.


looking back now, all I see
is all the life he didn’t want to live,
is all the things he didn’t want to be
are all those who swore not to leave
is the man that I still grieve.

And if take a look at me
behind these tired eyes
is that kind of person
I never thought I could be
and even if that grey old man
is now so far away
I still lie beside him
one in sin, the other in the grave.
