Licking Wounds

I’m just howling at the moon

Eva can you hear me?

I guess the war, it left a wound

And it’s just begaun to fester

All that longing for my true love

And I just come home and left her

Like coward, like a cur

Not a decorated hero

Just a dog licking wounds

And howling

Eva can you hear me?

Now you’re pregnant with another

What’s happened to our family?

Do my daughters have a brother?

How come I feel you’ve left me?

Like a dog licking wounds

And howling

Eva can you hear me?

Every war I’m running from

It’s waiting and it’s raging

Wherever I wake up in the bed I made for comfort

Looks like no where can be home

For a man who fails his family

No father to a child

Not a soldier or a savior

Just a dog licking wounds

And howling

Eva can you hear me?

Now you toil miles away

Alone without your children

There’s a mountain to the west

Well, here’s my imitation

Good for nothing, frozen in place

Cowed by a man I‘ve never seen but hate

And so I wait

The cut before the blood

Like a dog licking wounds

And howling

Eva can you hear me?

Eva can you hear me?
