Lyrics

Reconstruction

Words and music by Kristin Erickson c 2006

They?re shooting off cannons, looks like the Civil War
Is starting on the lawn across the way
They?re marching in formation, should be strange but isn?t
?Cause nothing seems to make sense these days

Chorus: And I hope that you don?t know that the daylight never starts
And I hope that you don?t know that the darkness never really parts
To you I?m doing fine and thank you very much
Well there?s so much that I hope that you don?t know
There?s so much that I so hope you don?t know

We did this for the best, of course we both agree
We?re not little children, you and I
Yes we?ll still be friends, we?re above such petty nonsense
I wished you well when we said good bye

Chorus

So I walk my wounds and smile behind these screens
Where carpetbaggers promise harmony
But I just can?t see through these lines of blue and grey
And sounds of thunder, cannons, I can?t say

Chorus
