Lyrics

NIGHT OF BROKEN GLASS

A young girl sits and drinks alone
In a cafAc on the cobblestones
While she watches lovers walking past
A flock of seagulls flying low
Sinatra on the radio
She can't hear the rockets crash

CHORUS: BROKEN GLASS
BROKEN GLASS
Fires burn in the NIGHT OF
BROKEN GLASS

She tastes the brine of salty tears
And shivers in the midnight air
Alone with summer mem'ries gone too fast
The army took him young and proud
Survival of the fittest now
She's praying now that this will pass

{REPEAT CHORUS}

Her tumbler topples to the ground
And shatters like the window on
his jeep
The bomb has found its mark
The wound is much too deep
Much too deep

{REPEAT CHORUS}

They say she moved somewhere out west
And married a philanthropist
To forget the past and start again
But somewhere on a yellowed page
The fires of war still show their rage
While she dreams of nights that might have been

{REPEAT CHORUS}

TAG: When war comes
And leaves the blood stained
grass
There's nothing left but the
NIGHT OF BROKEN GLASS
