Lyrics
When the buildings turn to tall grass
And the yellow lights to stars
And the flag lies down at half mast
Like a thousand times before
Mother don't forget the letters
Sister don't forget to breathe
I am standing at your doorstep
You are down upon your knees
Will you taste what I have tasted
Would you feel what I have felt
I don't need you to erase it
I just need a little help
Father close the door behind you
I am not the man I was
I am standing at your doorstep
Just a shadow of a son
Will you wake me if I am screaming
Will you love me if I run
Doesn't mean I didn't mean it
When I slipped that promise on
And darling don't pour out the whiskey
You are still so beautiful
I am standing at your doorstep
We will never win this war
And I am standing at your doorstep
We will never win
And if they call me I will be there
Shine my boots and hold my breath
Maybe I'll come back a hero
Laid to rest beneath the flag
But please don't forget to tell them
Everything that I have done
And I am standing at your doorstep
I am handing you my gun
I am standing at your doorstep
I am handing you my gun
I'll be standing at your doorstep
If I am ever coming home
