Russian Roulette Songtext

von Jack Savoretti

How I survived the massacre
I'll never understand
I've fought the fight as strong and hard as any other man
Yet I returned as hero
While they returned as ghosts
A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most

[Chorus]
Take me back to place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

Now my reward are peace and quiet
Of both I'm never sure
Sound of silence scares me senseless even since the war
I drink away my memories
Too vicious to be told
The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul

[Chorus]
Take me back to place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

Take me back to place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

In the eyes of this lonely lover of ... mine
