Laura's Song Lyrics

Saw you standing by the door

My shock was quick but visible

Your face was worn and adamant

Your smile was big, nice sentiment

Let you in the empty hall

The pictures cold and cynical

Our faces bright, excitement

We look them back and grimace

People say they wish me the best

But my mind gets little rest

One minute, he goes off to war

The next, he's dying on the floor

I wonder if it's a test

'Cause my heart is feeling restless

Am I loyal any more

If it's not feeling like before?

Oh oh-o-oh, oh oh-o-oh, oh oh.

My tears start to fall velvet red

I think it's blood right from my head

Making space for all your wounds

It took me time to process, too

I trace my hand along your scar

I feel the rhythm of your heart

I stare into your cold blue eyes

I watch you drown, and fade in time

People say they wish me the best

But my mind gets little rest

One minute, he goes off to war

The next, he's dying on the floor

I wonder if it's a test

'Cause my heart is feeling restless

Am I loyal any more

If it's not feeling like before?

I pave your way, block any mine

But I'm falling, two children

Not allowed to cry

You were my rock, my sacred peace

But the avalanche cascaded between you and me

I watched it burn, my love, my dreams

Now I'm sitting all alone, in a room so busy

Oh oh-o-oh, oh oh-o-oh, oh oh.

Saw you standing by the door

The you was quick but visible

Your face was worn and adamant

My smile was big, nice sentiment
