No Man`s Land Lyrics

he was my brother born the day I left

                                          he took the mother lode and I took
the rest

                                           he was a fighter, he was always in
control

                                         he kept a candle burning way down in
his soul



                                          shots fired in anger and a widow
cries alone

                                      just one more mother's son who won't be
coming home

                                      they speak in whispers there are riders
to the east

                                     the blind man says mister bring a bottle
and a priest



                                                 that's the way it always goes

                                                that's the way it's always been

                                                  who you are or what you know

                                               you're like a feather in the
wind

                                                  let the river wash you away

                                                   reach the river if you can

                                                past the blue and past the grey

                                                    all the way, all the way

                                                  all the way to no man's land



                                       there was no shelter there was nowhere
left to run

                                      they came like eagles screaming down out
of the sun

                                        I heard the whistle sound the engine
pulled away

                                       I saw my brother down and I left him
where he lay



                                    some fight for honor there are those that
fight for gold

                                      some die believing all the fairy tales
they're told

                                       there are no heroes and there is no
marching bang

                                        there are no miracles down here in no
man's land



                                                 that's the way it always goes

                                                that's the way it's always been

                                                  who you are or what you know

                                               you're like a feather in the
wind

                                                  let the river wash you away

                                                   reach the river if you can

                                                past the blue and past the grey

                                                    all the way, all the way

                                                  all the way to no man's land



                                                   (let the river wash away)

                                                   (let the river wash away)



                                                 that's the way it always goes

                                                that's the way it's always been

                                                  who you are or what you know

                                               you're like a feather in the
wind

                                                  let the river wash you away

                                                   reach the river if you can

                                                past the blue and past the grey

                                                    all the way, all the way

                                                  all the way to no man's land



                                       (let the river wash away) let the river
wash away

                                       (let the river wash away) let the river
wash away

                                       (let the river wash away) let the river
wash away

                                                    let the river wash away

                                                    let the river wash away
