A

I'd

What

So

soon

would

turn

to

pain

The

sky

was

clear

fri-

The

air

was

thick

and

still

Now

I'm

not

one

So

we

said

good-

to

the

glo-

bride

And

we

made

our

back

home

Life

was

so

sim-

We

Fa-

Screams

Wrapped

No

No

Stunned

Ly-

I'm

gree-

by

a

a

man

with-

out

a

face

He

said,

"Son,

do

you

re-

Do

you

e-

know

your

name?"

Then

he

shined

a

light

in-

to

my

eyes

And

said,

"Take

this

for

the

pain."

"Tell

Said

the

"Can

Can

I

"Is

He
