Daughter Daughters

[Verse 1]
I just thought I'd let you know
There's a war in an old set of bones
When they shake, you can feel the earth moan
There's a war
When it rips through the hills on a child's roar
Skips across the water like a stone
There's a sure rope swinging, without a head in its jaws
It's waiting
There's a war

[Verse 2]
(It comes then it goes, it comes then it goes)
We're open mouthed in the deepest shit of all
(It takes time then goes, it takes time then goes)
The spitting image of an unanswered call
(It comes then it goes, it comes then it goes)
Lost love in a gaping maw
(It takes time then goes, it takes time then goes)
The same dead hand knocking at the door
(It comes then it goes, it comes then it goes)
The same dead hand knocking at the door
There's a war

[Verse 3]
So reel back and say
"Oh, we never should've let them go"
And say "No, no, no, no
There are no saints anymore"
And "Oh, love is a tired whore"
And "Oh, love is a tired whore"
And "Oh, love is a tired whore"
And "Oh, love is a tired whore"
And "Oh, love is a tired whore"
