[00:09.87]they flutter behind you your possible pasts
[00:17.75]some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost
[00:22.06]
[00:27.12]a warning to anyone still in command
[00:30.68]
[00:36.75]of their possible future to take care
[00:41.00]
[00:46.62]in derilict sidings the poppies entwine
[00:51.00]
[00:55.12]with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
[01:00.31]
[01:06.50]do you remember me? how we used to be?
[01:10.75]
[01:11.50]do you thing we should be closer?
[01:14.12]
[01:24.50]she stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
[01:29.19]
[01:33.19]haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
[01:36.69]
[01:42.25]her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
[01:46.68]
[01:50.50]for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
[01:56.88]
[02:01.38]stepping up boldly one put out his hand
[02:05.31]
[02:09.13]he said, 'i was just a child then now i'm only a man'
[02:15.44]
[02:18.19]do you remember me? how we used to be?
[02:22.88]
[02:23.50]do you thing we should be closer?
[02:26.31]
[03:21.35]by the cold and religious we were taken in hand
[03:25.67]
[03:29.98]shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
[03:35.53]
[03:40.91]tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
[03:49.59]now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
[03:54.65]of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
[03:57.83]
[04:02.96]do you remember me? how we used to be?
[04:08.27]do you thing we should be closer?
