I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying And the sound of the train that took me off to war The awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding And I wondered if I could take it anymore There were times when they almost drove me crazy
But I did my best and took it like a man And who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it The one sound in the world my heart can't stand To hear that sound and to know its really over Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away And of earthquakes, storms and guns and war
Lord, nothing has ever hurt me More than that lonely sound The closing of the door And of earthquakes, storms and guns and war Lord, nothing ever hurt me More than that lonely sound The closing of the door
