lyrics
Night has turned to day
Snippers are on the hillside
Buried my face
In a dugout shell of my hard times
Line ‘em up you’d say
Giving orders from up on high
If this river rise again
I’ll try to keep myself dry
Something slipped away
Vanished like the fireflies
It’s hard to explain
With a heart that was stopped a tongue that was tied
Line ‘em again
No mercy from your Hawkeye
Only hope the rain will compromise the sightline
Night has turned to day
In a single ray of sunshine
Waving my white flag
Giving up on the firefight
Snippers are on the hillside
Buried my face
In a dugout shell of my hard times
Line ‘em up you’d say
Giving orders from up on high
If this river rise again
I’ll try to keep myself dry
Something slipped away
Vanished like the fireflies
It’s hard to explain
With a heart that was stopped a tongue that was tied
Line ‘em again
No mercy from your Hawkeye
Only hope the rain will compromise the sightline
Night has turned to day
In a single ray of sunshine
Waving my white flag
Giving up on the firefight
