Now all of the planes have landed
And the soldiers are in their beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
The boy with the bloated belly
Hears today's trucks arrive
He puts down his baby sister
And makes his way outside
Truth faced leaves a stragne taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Everyone's a novelist
And everyone can sing
But no one talks when the TV's on...
The lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled
Dark clouds filled the sky
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet(Rowe / Somerville / Stannard)
Whatever we may do
Whatever we may fall
All I ask of you
Please love me too, like I love you
Always, always
By your side
We share the pain inside
Together we will try
To understand, why?
For those who die, so many friends
Goodbye
Always, always
By your side
If life is all we are
Then shine like every star
Nothing lasts forever
Time will make our history
As love will too
Always, always
By your side
