She was closer to god in 1942,
Before kokoda had lost her son, baby blue
Now she’s left with a man
Who cashed out long ago
In a farm house with land
Where nothing seems to grow

She says i’m alone now, even though you’re here

And he was closer to god in 1975
Before the cancer had come to visit with his wife
He would cry by her side
In those final nights
Her last words broke the man,
“honey, will you be alright?”

He says, i’m alone now, even though you’re here

Can you feel it taking over
Can you make this go away
I feel younger, but i’m older,
And i fear it’s gonna stay
Can’t you feel this breaking my faith dear, in you

We were closer to gods in mid 2001
Before the anger in man damn near scorched the sun
And we were born of the kings
Who caused this to be done,
Who gave us fire skies
And a war that can never be won

We’re alone now, even though you’re here

Can you feel it taking over
Can you make this go away
I feel younger, but i’m older,
And i fear it’s gonna stay
Can’t you feel this breaking my faith dear, in you

Why lay by the river when the river’s dry

Can you feel this breaking my heart, dear
Have i been away for too long
Have i been away for too long, dear
