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
