Put in a Word

Put in a word

Say what you want

What do you run for

Why do you need more

You say it won't hurt

But you know that it's not true

You took me to war

Don't open that door

Time has taken from me again and again

Each second fades like waves on shore

Leaving me longing for what came before

I gather the fragments

What's left in my hands

But there's dust in the light

Like so many sands

Time moves in shadows

Unseen yet so near

Claiming my laughter, my love, and my fear so

Put in a word

Say what you want

What do you run for

Why do you need more

You say it won't hurt (say it won't)

But you know that it's not true

You took me to war

Don't open that door

Put in a word

Say what you want

What do you run for

Why do you need more

You say it won't hurt

But you know that it's not true

You took me to war

Don't open that door
