Dead Heroes ~ The Giving Tree Band
Dead Heroes ~ The Giving Tree Band
What do you do when your heroes are dead
The laughs are out and it’s all been said
What do you do when you’re all alone again
What do you do when the money’s all gone
The trees are cut and the paper’s worn
What do you do when you can’t get blood from a stone
What do you do when the church bell rings
And God’s gone on to finer things
What do you do when you have no songs to sing
You move it on
You move it on
You move it on
You move it on
What do you do when your heroes are dead
The lies are out and it’s all been said
What do you do when your nights are cold and lonely
What do you do when the waters run dry
And tears like rain don’t fall from the sky
What do you do when the only word’s “goodbye”
What do you do when the church bell rings
And God’s gone on to finer things
What do you do when we have no songs to sing
Just as the wheel turns
My heart still burns
And now I’m waiting on the rains to calm my flames
Just as the river flows
My love still grows
Now I’m waiting on you to wait on me
Just as the day is long
My back is still strong
And I can carry that weight all the way home
And you can run
But you can’t hide it
I’m gonna find out what you had in mind.
