lyrics

It’s the flicker of the television
It’s darkness in the halls
It’s the bottles on the floor, smashed and broken
It’s the twenty missed phone calls

It’s the letter she’d just written
It’s the bullet in the gun
It’s the will to live, no longer in her
And it’s the end of what’s to come

They got the call on Tuesday
Said there’d been a body found
And like the ending of a screenplay
In a dark room in her wedding gown

Weren’t many at the service
Just the families of the two
Dressed in black and veiled faces
They looked on as loved ones do

And down she goes…

He found he written letter
Said she couldn’t live no more
Without her friend, lover her soldier
Who just died a hero in the war

Well there’d been a misunderstanding
And he’s just made his way back home
He wanted to surprise her with some roses
But now like him they wilt alone

They got the call on Monday
Said there’d been a body found
And like the ending of a screenplay
Another soldier Heaven bound

Found grasping a wrinkled paper
Said he’d fallen in the war
They found him lying on the same couch
They found his lover the week before

And down he goes…

It’s the flicker of the television
The darkness in the room
It’s the dead and wilted flowers, in an empty vase
That sets the scene a cues the tune
