SAM - War

SAM - War Lyrics: Radio on Static at dawn Coffee gone cold She keeps the same chair warm Boots by the door Dust on the floor His room is a snapshot Of him at nineteen She stares at the phone Like it might ring twice Every little silence Cuts like ice She prays to a sky She’s not sure of anymore (come back) Come back Come back from that war War Took my boy to a place I can’t follow War Filled my nights with an echo of hollow If you hear me Through the smoke and the fire I’m still calling your name I’m still calling your name War You can’t kill a mother’s desire News on the screen Names in a stream She holds her breath At every breaking line Dog tags framed Picture in flame light She talks to the glass Like he’s on the other side She keeps his letters Folded by the bed Reads every shaky word That he said “Ma I’m fine” But the ink says more (hold on) Hold on Hold on through this war War Took my boy to a place I can’t follow War Filled my nights with an echo of hollow If you hear me Through the smoke and the fire I’m still calling your name I’m still calling your name War You can’t kill a mother’s desire If the sky falls down I’ll stand right here If the ground gives way I’ll drown your fear Every heartbeat Marches to your door My love outruns Every war War Took my boy to a place I can’t follow War Turned my heart to a drum of sorrow If you hear me Through the smoke and the fire I’m still calling your name I’m still calling your name War You can’t kill a mother’s desire
