Anybody's War

Her arms around a flag of blue His clours flying black and white She hears the voice between the lines He hears the warning, he turns his black Anybody's war Who is there to catch the pieces Anybody's war Faces we don't recognise She catches every last regret She holds it gently like a dying star He stands like a small boy in the street Throwing rocks and stones into the crowd Anybody's war Who is there to catch the pieces Anybody's war Faces we don't recognise Anybody's war Turning round and round in circles Anybody's war People just like you and I Just a little too afraid To take the blame that they can't hide Like a frightened child who is running scared And they know each other well Through the innocence long gone Is the only thing they ever shared She'll promise that she'll try again He'll promise that he'll settle down And they will call themselves the best of friends But still they're strangers, just like anyone Anybody's war
