Hanoi

With you, everything in life was peaceful
My anxiousness, my heartache, and my blues
You took me as I was, and you didn't ask too much
Just at the door that I took off my shoes

When autumn came, you put your arms around me
The braches they hung low over the street
The shadows that they made, had also given shade
To the soldiers of our fathers' war stories

I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me

We both know that I'm too young to remember
But for you the wounds ran deep, down to the bone
You've ached and you have cried, for the mothers who have died
And the generation of children left alone

I was neither wiser much less older
But you took me in a fed me as your own
As equals and with love, without a word on God above
Or the many things I should already have known

I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me

It wasn't long til your home became our home
But it was longer before I began to see
There was something that was wrong, and you had you known it all along
That the monster, in those stories, it was me

I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
I keep you with me
