Army Reserve

[Verse 1] How long must she stand Before the ground, yeah, gives way To an endless fall? She can feel this war on her face And stars on her pillow She's foldin' in darkness, beggin' for slumber [Chorus 1] I'm not blind, I can see it comin' Looks like lightning in my child's eye I'm not frantic, I can feel it comin' Violently shakes my body [Verse 2] Her son's slanted Always givin' her the sideways eye An empty chair where Dad sits How loud can silence get? And Mom, she reassures To contain him, but it's becomin' a lie She tells herself and anyone else Father is riskin' his life for our freedoms [Chorus 2] I'm not blind, I can see it comin' Looks like lightning in my child's eye I'm not frantic, I can feel it comin' Darling, you'll save me, if you save yourself [Instrumental Outro]
