[00:00.00]Shadow of a Son - Anna Tivel
[00:00.69]When the buildings turn to tall grass
[00:03.93]And the yellow lights to stars
[00:07.06]And the flag lies down at half mast
[00:10.47]Like a thousand times before
[00:15.18]Mother don't forget the letters
[00:18.29]Sister don't forget to breathe
[00:23.36]I am standing at your doorstep
[00:26.61]You are down upon your knees
[00:41.15]Will you taste what I have tasted
[00:44.42]Would you feel what I have felt
[00:47.68]I don't need you to erase it
[00:50.90]I just need a little help
[00:55.18]Father close the door behind you
[00:59.01]I am not the man I was
[01:03.96]I am standing at your doorstep
[01:07.29]Just a shadow of a son
[01:20.07]Will you wake me if I'm screaming
[01:23.64]Will you love me if I run
[01:26.52]Doesn't mean I didn't mean it
[01:29.99]When I slipped that promise on you
[01:33.63]And darling don't pour out the whiskey
[01:37.97]You are still so beautiful
[01:42.97]I am standing at your doorstep
[01:46.29]We will never win this war
[01:48.83]And I am standing at your doorstep
[01:52.76]We will never win
[02:26.15]If they call me I will be there
[02:29.78]Shine my boots and hold my breath
[02:33.08]Maybe I'll come back a hero
[02:36.43]Laid to rest beneath the flag
[02:41.09]But please don't forget to tell them
[02:44.64]Everything that I have done
[02:49.09]I am standing at your doorstep
[02:52.73]I am handing you my gun
[02:55.44]I am standing at your doorstep
[02:59.09]I am handing you my gun
[03:02.05]I'll be standing at your doorstep
[03:05.61]If I'm ever coming home
