Lyrics

BURMA

Just this night I dreamed
for just one stolen moment
against the earth I pressed
and like a door had opened
you there unaware

Of the dirt and the hurt
and the innocence
twisted on metal things

It was summer, my lover
and you were there
dreaming of better things

Dumb dumb drums of war
beating their hopeless rhythm
it’s not my killer’s fault
all of my hopes go with him

Go my love steady just
be upstairs ready my angel

Go my love steady
just be up there ready
waiting, waiting

it was summer, my lover
and you were there
