April 10th

[Verse 1]

It was April the tenth

I remember it well

It was so cold that year

It was colder than hell

And things hadn't been good

For you, for a while

'Cause I'd been on tour

I hadn't heard

[Verse 2]

And Ruth dropped in

With the letter you wrote

And we read it aloud

To prove that I could

And we were both laughing

'cause we know how you are

[Verse 3]

We never thought

You'd quit on us good

We thought that we knew you

Well, I guess that we don't

Are you having me on

Just like the past?

We called you "the bad penny"

Remember that?

[Verse 4]

The sea is wide

The streets are long

There's blood on all our hands

With the catalyst gone

And only what's left to us

Is history built on dust

On sweat, and on poet's words

Great nations and governments

Feed lies on victories

Eager and keen to please

Those junkies are everywhere

With their thousand-yard stare

We all end up the same

Like little lambs to meet their end
