lyrics

No-One Shed A Tear

They pistol-whipped him twice and pushed him onto the chair
Tied tape around his mouth and his arms
Went through his drawers and emptied his wallet
Then they set fire to the barn

He never opened his eyes to see what was left
Of the place he built up with his hands
And as their footsteps faded he meditated
On the life he’d lived as a man

Hey, hey, hey, now its too late
To get caught on the other side
To be chained on the wrong side of life
To get caught on the other side of time

The first one to find him was his eldest son
Tipped his head back and swore on revenge
The first one to touch him was his ageing wife
And she wondered where all this would end

Theres no fruit in the trees and no rain in the clouds
And the soil rejects all of your love
From where you stand you see all this burnt land
And the barren mistress above

Hey, hey, hey, now its too late
To get caught on the other side
To be chained on the wrong side of life
To get caught on the other side of time

If we’re born to die, what do we die to do
Except shed some light in the dark
You say what does it matter, if you cant take it with you
Not the body, nor the mind, nor the heart

They threw his body in the stream and they watched from the bank
As it twisted and then disappeared
No stone was cut and no words were spoke
And no-one shed a tear

Hey, hey, hey, now its too late
To get caught on the other side
To be chained on the wrong side of life
To get caught on the other side of time

Other side of life
Other side of time
Other side of life
