Outside of Town

We first met in the morning
In the heat of July
Your eyes were a warning
But I didn't think it could be mine

Now your mother is calling
To see if you're still alive
Father died in a bombing
Do you think you could come by?

And all of your old friends are wondering
What a fool you've been
To take your own daughter through the sand
Because no one makes their way

Through the war on the outside of town
Through the war that's coming for me now

Do you even remember?
The way that we cried
When you left without warning
Do you still remember why?

In the heat of these moments
And the sun of July
I still hope from a distance
That both of you are still alive

And all of your old friends are wondering
What a fool you've been
To take your own daughter through the sand
'Cause no one makes their way

Through the war on the outside of town
Through the war that's coming for me now, hmm
