Lyrics - New Strings

[Verse]
leave me
don't you leave me so young now
who's the gunner that did this?
would he cry if I shot his own down?

teach me
that they're gone who will teach me?
I'm so angry I can't see
right and wrong are confusing me now.

[Chorus]
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
and I'm singing again

[Verse]
Give me some new strings
ones I'm playing are long gone
like a song thats been drawn out
oh, the voice of this singer is full of doubt

New strings,
this guitar, when they're new sings
I'm an orphan who earned wings
fly above all the past that war has done

[Chorus]
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
and I'm singing again

(repeat)
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
(new last line)
and our family is singing again.
