I noticed the grass had all died And nothing showed any sign of life And nothing to show who was my wife I'd been gone a year before the war I'd seen the cloud and really knew the storm And nothing I could do at all to save A population heading to the grave A population heading to the grave I'd been gone a year before the war I'd seen the cloud and really knew the storm And nothing I could do at all to save A population heading to the grave I've been around the world a million times Remembering the faces that I knew Never thinking they'd be dead and gone And I alone should have to be alone But I think I hear a noise from underground It's someone else's woman I have found I ask myself is this where it began That's when I turned around and ran That's when I turned around and ran That's when I turned around and ran
