From the recording Killing Prose
Lyrics
Sunny October (Lyrics & Music by Steve Laurie: 12/25/05)
War is over, sunny October
Watch the leaves falling
Rather than our men, the children sent to war
War is over, leaving us sober
From all the field's drunken
With the blood of our men, the children sent to war
War is over, scaring forever
Our memory with losses
Of all our men, the children sent to war
Out in the fields at night, covered under the light
Of yet another senseless, endless fire fight
I can hear screaming outta my basement
Echoes and voices
Of all my friends dying in the war
Another young father rippled with bullets
Bombs blasting to pieces
They were my friends dying in the war
Out in the fields at night, covered under the light
Of yet another senseless, endless fire fight
War is over, sunny October
Watch the leaves falling
Rather than our men, the children sent to war
Can I get an amen to end all the wars
