Home, was all we'd known
Father's field and calloused heels
Friend, I called you friend
Oh but life was simple then
We grew, to disagree
Took your portion and packed your things
And held, your freedom high
Above health and wealth
And life itself
Remember us, out on the frozen pond?
I held you up
You were the frightened one
Through years, the rumours grew
Of a brother returning soon
I was wrong yesterday
Oh I was wrong yesterday
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
