Honawolf - Blue and Grey Lyrics
We grew up in a mining townNothing there for miles aroundIt was such a frightening soundWhen the soldiers, cam marching downTears were shed and tongues were tiedEverybody chose a sideTheir wills and walls were fortifiedI recall, how momma criedTake me to the river, wash the blood stains from our handsHeart broken strangers where a family used to standNo one could have drenched this when they rode off all aloneMy men, would not come homeMy men went off to war todayOne in blue and one in greyNo one knew quite what to sayWhen they left that day in MayTake me to the river, wash the blood stains from our handsHeart broken strangers where a family used to standNo one could have drenched this when they rode off all aloneMy men, would not come homeThere was a turquoise river where we playedThe same river where momma prayedNow that river's turned to redAs we lay, them both down to bedTake me to the river, wash the blood stains from our handsHeart broken strangers where a family used to standNo one could have drenched this when they rode off all aloneMy men, would not come home
