She felt it all
And in silence years go by before she turns her back
Yet you rise to ask her why
She put her bags down
She put her bags down
Mind you she felt unwanted
Ill-bred
She got tripped up
Ragged now and then
Felt shook up
Got teared up
Words welled up
Almost let them fly
She put her bags down
It doesn't matter anymore
She put her bags down
It doesn't matter anymore
If she knew a way to take him back to the day he tipped his hat
They were young and hopeful then and she felt
I am all that
She would have promised him a showdown
She would have promised him a showdown
Does it matter anymore
A showdown
Does it matter
Reactionary ethics and indifference
And forgetting all the dreams
Misguided patriots with distributed flags
And heels in the dust
And so silent eyes go by
And so silent eyes go by
And so silent eyes go by
