The Honey Dewdrops - When Was the War

When was the war I know, I know
that's where my husband was called to go
Didn't need no priest wasn't laid down below
but he didn't come home the boy I used to know

I watch him at night, he sleeps through his dreams
Many of the nights tremors convene
I don't hardly know who can be where he been
who's not pining away or languishing

When was the war I know, I know
written on the page of a book to never close

When was the war I know, I know
caught in this mud and moving so slow
I know there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
that can stay still so long and never get hurt

I watch him so silent shake through his dreams
black hole sleep a violent stream
When was the war I know, I know
sooner or later we all come to know
When was the war I know, I know
sooner or later we all come to know

When was the war I know, I know
