lyrics

Oh, My Friends

See, it’s gone away now,
The war is over.
A war you never knew about
Till you ran for cover.
I blame the winter,
Made me feel the bitter cold.
You came alive,
I hoped for more.

Now the world is open
When you are not around,
A world you do not know about
Since you hit the ground.
I blame the winter,
Made me see that some things stay the same.
Who was there before
Is still here today.

I called out across the sea.
Oh, my friends he did not hear me.
Oh, my friends he did not see me,
And I don’t remember who I used to be.

Once upon a time I made a wish,
I made a wish upon a star,
And you sent for me.
I was there to fall apart.
I blame the winter,
Made me feel I wouldn’t have it any other way.
You closed your eyes
So I closed the way.

And I called out across the sea.
Oh, my friends he did not hear me.
Oh, my friends he did not see me,
And I don’t remember who I used to be.
