Horror grips us as we watch you die,
All we can do is echo anguished cries,
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving, you don’t need us.
Go take a sister, then, by the hand,
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again.
We are leaving, you don’t need us.

[C]Blowin’ warm out of the south
Over my shoul[Em]der. [C]
Guess I’ll [Em] set a course and go. [C] [Em9]
