In the cold We spent the night On the floor With the great, old pines When the storm came alive I took your hand and I closed my eyes... And you cut your hair And you broke the mirror the one that we shared Then you moved away to another time I was always there but you were always fine The faces up on the wall Do they protect us If we should fall The faces up on the wall Do they protect us If we should fall In the war We were sent overseas We were both seventeen but we crossed our eyes and we lost our tease And they took our hands(tell me on the way home) And they bound our feet(I loved it when you said that) For another road(Even when we lost you) to another defeat(I knew you'd always come back) And I was still shaking(tell me on the way home) with the words that you said(I loved it when you said that) When you told me that (Even when we lost you) we would be friends(you'd always come back) The faces up on the wall Do they protect us If we should fall The faces up on the wall Do they protect us If we should fall In a home something like, you'd have had I'm a father but I'll never be, their dad When I take their hands I imagine they're yours Like it's the house that raised us its shivering floors Now I'm still waiting for that storm to die 'cause I know that it's your way of saying goodbye
