Steel on the Strings

It feels like a haze of confusion
I can't tell who's winning or losing
I don't know
I don't know

Sometimes I don't see the difference
Between dying and living
I don't know
I don't know

But even through this up and down
I'll always be around and round
'Cause I love fire in the rain
And I love smiling on the train
And I love the feeling when the pill is kicking in
And I love the sound of the steel on the strings

Mama just lost her father
This fighting got harder and harder
Till he let go
He let go

At just 19, he was a soldier
A rifle was slung on his shoulder
And he left home
He left home

A Libyan port he defended
The Rats of Tobruk don't surrender
Never spoke of it to anyone
97 times around the sun

'Cause he loved greeting every day
And he loved a table tennis game
And when he was eighty, he would play me and he'd win
And he loved the sound
Of a trumpet in the wind

'Cause I love fire in the rain
And I love smiling on the train
And I love the feeling when the pill is kicking in
And I love the sound of the steel on the strings
Yeah, I love the sound of the steel on the strings
