Search and Destroy - Sanders Bohlke

Summer sailed in

Filled my mind you see

Colored my skin

I must say

Saw my wings with the bodies in the gutter

Feel my kiss, now say not a word

Knowing my hands they’ll shake like crazy

Some just pray like that

Coming way down

Called my name

Tell him we’re here

Pick him up softly

I was wide awake with the bodies in the gutter

Waiting on a man who gave his word

I was told before to be not afraid

Soon my fears will emerge

So I went on my feet

And they came up real quick

And they left me for dead

And I never did forget

And I need my soul, and the sail needs the wind

Cause I get so lost time and again

And away I looked, oh mercy me

Well it just ain’t right you see, oh me

And the lovers did feast and the birds flew away

And I was so mad at the coming of the day

And I will leave the monsters all at bay

We can believe it’s better this way

I was her lover

You were a child

She was your mother

We didn’t cry

They buried their dead with the flowers in the field

With wounds so deep they never healed

They gathered their children all on the shore

Gonna wait for you to search us and destroy
