Whatever you came here to find it's all gone
Lost in a dream
A lifetime ago
Whatever we hid out there in the fields
All the heartache and grief
We never found peace
Wherever it lies
We'll just take it slow
Like the evening sky of the night before
Whatever cause that you came here to fight
Disappeared out of sight
Like a thief in the night
Whichever river you crossed to be here
It worked for so long
Now the bridges they're, long gone
Wherever it lies
We'll just take it slow
Like the evening sky of the night before
Whenever it dies
We'll just say, it ain't so
And turn on the lights when we're missing home
We lost the war and were brought to our knees
So tender, so sweet
Oh the touch of defeat
Whenever the mystery lies in the breeze
In the sense of relief
In the distance we keep
As for the holding on
The weak and the strong
The settle be gone
As for the words we keep
Those memories sealed
Through the fortune of song
And so it shall be
After we're all long gone
Wherever it lies
We'll just take it slow
Like the evening sky of the night before
Whenever it dies
We'll just say, it ain't so
And turn on the lights when we're missing home
We all turn on the lights when we're missing home
