I stay at home alone at night
I stay up waiting for your call
I’m nearly blinded by your light
And I don’t see anything at all
And I would try
But I don’t know what for anymore
The TV’s on at 2 a.m.
A nightlight burning in the hall
Around and ’round goes CNN
They don’t say anything at all
And I decide
To close my eyes once more
Silly war
Can’t hear the word out on the street
Don’t even think to read the wall
‘Cause you have always been discreet
And I don’t know anything at all
And I would cry
But I don’t know what for anymore
Silly war
