Phil Manzanera - In Any Tongue lyrics

[Verse 1] Home and done it's just begun His heart weighs more, more than it ever did before What has he done? God help my son Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up No sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cup I know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue [Chorus 1] How was I to feel it When a gun was in my hands And I'd waited for so long? How was I to see straight In the dust and blinding sun Just a pair of boots on the ground [Verse 2] On the screen the young men die The children cry in the rubble of their lives What has he done? God help my son Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up The volume pumped right up but not enough to drown it out I hear "Mama", sounds the same in any tongue [Chorus 2] How am I to see you When my faith stands in the way And the wailing is long done? How am I to know you With a joystick in my hand When the call to arms has come? [Guitar Solo]
