War Babies – English Lyrics

• By: Simple Minds

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

See the white clouds roll in

Spirits lying next to me

Catch the wildflower falling

It's the wound that never bleeds

Hear the Sirens calling

Spinning out their show

Hold the moment close

to me

Take it down too slow

Be mine, be mine, War Babies

Be mine, be mine, War Babies

Can you still keep going?

Shattered pieces left inside

To face the final, knowing

That there's somethings you can't hide

Be mine, be mine, War Babies

Be mine, be mine, War Babies

So will the force let go?

Or will the phantoms stay?

Let the foreteller be your sight

- It feels like something's happening today

Some shame's like no other

And nothing feels the same

Nothing feels the same

War Babies

Be mine, be mine, War Babies

Nothing feels the same

War Babies

War Babies

Nothing feels the same

Be mine

Be mine

War Babies
