dream on little brother

let your conscience sleep

dream on now

this time the cut

is far too deep

dream away

run with the gun

but the war is over now

and they're going to frack you down



chorus

goodbye joey rae

I'm writing you

this message in the rain

goodbye joey rae

thought I knew

that we may never

meet again



memories of strange things

in a distant land

innocents and children

chase the yellow man

far away

they sent us then

and you want to shoot them down

but the war is over now



chorus



even now the memory

is haunting me

you took a gun today

and set your madness free

i'm breathing

on the window pane

and i'm writing in the rain

i won't be coming back again



chorus
