This brick that's flown between us
Like the glow that christens the moon
Like the glow that christens the moon
Like the glow that christens the moon
And the light of a fading star
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
Oh and I always thought somehow
Like the glow that christens the moon
And many more of us shall die
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
And the light of a fading star
'Cause beyond the pale lies evening
That you, you wanted me
And the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Volunteers are soon forgotten
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
And the madness leave the air
But if there's a reason
The sick still feed the hungry
I don't need to know right now
And the shadow of the plough
Is what you were, is what you are
Ah when will this war be over?
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
And the pulling of the hair
I don't need to know right now
But if there's a reason
And the light of a fading star
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
Like the glow that christens the moon
That you, you wanted me
Is what you were, is what you are
I don't need to know right now
And I always thought
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
