ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Kuiama lyrics

rate me

My my kuiama, she came in the morning<br>She smiled but the tears on her little face<br>Showed the pain that had been in that far off place<br>So sad, treated so bad<br><br>My my kuiama, don't break your heart tryin<br>To say how your ma and your pa passed away<br>And they left you to wander the ruin and decay<br>Real mean, that bullet machine<br><br>See here kuiama, now ten thousand miles<br>Is a long long way and you're here today<br>And you won't go back so you might say<br>Hello, how do you do<br><br>Kuia stop your cryin, there's no bombs a'fallin<br>No horsemen in the night a'ridin through your dreams and tearing at your life<br>Baby goodnight<br><br>No more silver rain will hit your ground<br>And no more guns will sound<br>And no more life be drowned<br>No more trenches where the soldiers lie<br>And no more people die<br>Beneath that big black sky<br><br>Wake up kuiama, I got somethin to tell you<br>It's just that I mean, well that is to say,<br>That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again,<br>For you, I must be true.<br><br>Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reason<br>They teach you to kill and they send you away<br>With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay<br>So cool, that no mercy tool<br><br>Kuia please believe me? I just couldn't help myself.<br>I wanted to run but they gave me a gun<br>And they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland.<br>I made my stand.<br><br>Kuia I just shot them, I just blew their heads open,<br>And I heard them scream in their agony<br>Kuiama she waits there for me<br>True blue, you saw it through.
