Stranger things have happened in this town
This is a day I knew would come somehow
A little pleasure shared together
Now it's all too soon
To find you lonely as dust
In the corner of this room

Where the drinks are the color of caramel
The bottles are older than us
And some days waiting, I could swear I'd seen your face
But then I know it's just a vision
It's only faith, it's only faith

Wartime leaders never know how hard to play
Never know the cost of what they crave
Armchair heroes thrust into a dream discover
Like the best laid plans
The best made men fall to pieces

This land's the color of caramel
There's an old familiar barley smell
And they go back stumbling to a world from which they came
Never knowin' if they could ever feel at home again

Hangin' by the old oaks
They're laughin, storytellin, makin jokes
But young boys never know
And young girls never know

I'll be home soon
Won't be long 'til June

There's a house over by that hill
I went there once
They live there still
Spent days waiting for someone who never claimed
The land he owned
The land he made

With skin is the color of caramel
These bodies are older than us
They're older than hell
Some days waiting I could swear I'd seen your face
Then I know it's just a vision
It's only faith, it's only faith
