day one

lyrics

sirens

i awoke to a woman's cries
in the glow of warm street light
maybe mother or the mother
of his child
sirens, sirens
sound all night

and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names

mama when your
son was born
he was drafted to
civil war
mama they won't bring him back
draped in honor and country's flag

and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names

i don't go
to sleep anymore
all i'll do is dream of war
i need more than
post and prayer
i need cries to cut the air

and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names
