I Fought In A War – Damien Rice – letras

I fought in a war and i left my friends behind meTo go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very longBefore i would stand with another boy in front of meAnd a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying roundAnd i reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting onAnd i bet you’re making shells back home for a steady boy to wearRound his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting forThis letter to arrive because i’ll be here quite a whileI fought in a war and i left my friends behind meTo go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very longBefore i found out that the sickness there ahead of meWent beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone beforeAnd i reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting onAnd i bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wearRound his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting forThis letter to arrive because i’ll be here quite a whileI fought in a war, and i didn’t know where it would endIt stretched before me infinitely, i couldn’t really thinkOf the day beyond now, keep your head down palThere’s trouble plenty in this hour, this dayI can see hope i can see lightAnd i reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting onAnd i bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wearRound his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting forThis letter to arrive because i’ll be here quite a while
