When We Were at War

An empty chair in an empty room
A love has gone, it came too soon
With no one there
A spoken lie of apology
Without a word of sincerity
You captured me
Love is much too soon
And the piper calls the tune
Looking back
When we were at war
Now it’s on my mind
Still we are at war
The game is fought, the battle won
The loser has the victory gun
Though the fight goes on forever
Still we were together
When we were at war
I hear the sound of an aching cry
I turn around and I wonder why
There’s no one there
No sense of time
You went away
We look ahead
No need to say
We don’t care
Still we are as one
When all is said and done
Looking back
When we were at war
Now it’s on my mind
Still we are at war
The game is fought, the battle won
The loser has the victory gun
Though the fight goes on forever
Still we were together
When we were at war
When we were at war
When we were at war
Now it’s on my mind
Still we are at war
The game is fought, the battle won
The loser has the victory gun
Though the fight goes on forever
Still we were together
When we were at war
