The only girl I've ever loved

One evening in nineteen-forty-five

With just her sister at her side

And only weeks before the guns

All came and rained on every one

On empty rings around the sun

And won't be coming back again

The Earth looks better from a star

With sparks that ring and bullets fly

On empty rings around your heart

The world just screams and falls apart
