I HEARD THE SOUND 
OF MY DEAR 
OLD MAMA CRYIN' 

AND THE SOUND 
OF THE TRAIN 
THAT TOOK ME OFF 
TO THE WAR 

AND 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 
I TOOK IT 
LIKE A MAN 

BUT 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 IT'S 

REALLY OVER 
THROUGH TEAR-STAINED
EYES I WATCH HER 
WALK AWAY 

AND OF EARTHQUAKES 
STORMS 
GUNS AND WARS 
LORD NOTHIN' 

HAS EVER HURT 
ME MORE 
THAN THAT 
LONELY SOUND 

OF THE CLOSING 
OF THE DOOR 
AND OF EARTHQUAKES 
STORMS 

GUNS AND WARS 
LORD NOTHIN' 
HAS EVER HURT 
ME MORE 

THAN THAT 
LONELY SOUND 
THE CLOSING 
OF THE DOOR
