Everything returns to me
The only one I thought was free
The loss, the pain, the agony
My greatest fears
Ash to ash as we all must
Fall apart and turn to dust
I walk along to the other side
And then I fall down
The war is over deep inside
The enemy is lost to sight
A lone shot rings from the eastern sky
And the banner flies
Chorus:
Let the wind blow west if it wants to
Whistling with the west bound train
I pray to God this cowboy will see the sun tomorrow
And some things never change
Everything returns to me
The only one I thought was free
The loss, the pain, the agony
My greatest fears
A song raised up to the holy one
Then the general shouts and he points his gun
Though we've been here we've just begun
And it's ever done
Chorus
It's the same old song
By the same old boys
It's the same old hands
Making the same old noise
Chorus
