Brothers In Arm

Late august rain on the town I was looking for a shelter That's when I saw this small house Destroyed by time and by weather On the porch there were a sign Saying "here lived a soldier" On the walls the ivy climbed I knew I had to enter The old wooden floor Was cracking under my steps And under the dust Were lying some pages So I stepped into a world Where everything was meant by words And my eyes caught a little star Drawn in the byline It was 1941 Two lost souls stuck in time They were fighting their hearts In the very front line It was watching the stars Between two fire shots And they swore to themselves They'll stay brothers in arm "James was joking by the war I was worried by the weather How could someone shine so bright when all I see is blood He talks about his wife And how much he loves her And if he survives He'll become a painter But the days go by And he's terrified But he'll never say that I know in his mind It is hot then it is cold It is the magnificent road And the scars that he got Before going through the doors It's the promises we made When we met on the first day And the blood that we shared Swearing forever we'll stay It was 1942 The time I almost lost you Cause you're brave and I'm not And you fell in a hole It was watching the stars Being used by the war And I've never been so scared to lost my brother in arm Oh, oh It was 1944 You and me going home Late august rain on the town I was looking for a shelter That's when I saw this small house Destroyed by time and weather
