Back to the Barracks - Nataly Dawn

I shot you in the arm

It was intentional, or unintentional

My thoughts were unaware

This isn’t our first wound

It’ll look smaller in the morning

When the light reveals

The bigger ones still there

We get three good days

Then it’s back to the barracks, yeah

It’s back to the barracks

Feeling anxious, feeling bad

We get three good days

Then it’s back to the barracks

Wondering if there could be better days ahead

Wasn’t long ago we walked in fields of green

There were no mines between the places where we roamed

Now we just tiptoe as we both wait to cast the first stone

When those little god damn mines begin to blow

We get three good days

Then it’s back to the barracks, yeah

It’s back to the barracks

Feeling anxious, feeling bad

We get three good days

Then it’s back to the barracks

Wondering if there could be better days ahead

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You shot me in the arm

I saw your face grow pale

And we both knew so well

That nothing had been won

We trigger-worn and wary

And the only thing that scares me

Is the thought that one of us could die alone

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Three good days

Then it’s back to the barracks

Wondering if there could be better days

I know there could be better days

So here’s to all those better days ahead
