Lyrics

A father gave his, a mother gave hers.
It’s the same thing that always happened before - desire deterred.
A look at a faded photo is enough to wonder.
A father gave his, a mother gave hers.

Could they have ever known what lied beyond those innocent eyes?
The worry and the fear at times will make a grown man cry.
And with their final memory slipping away,
You better take cover - it’s gonna hurt before you even get to try.

Take Cover. Take Cover.

A brother gave his, a sister gave hers.
Before they begin to forget, you better remember their words.
“It moves so much faster than you’ll ever believe.”
A brother gave his, a sister gave hers.

Could they have ever known what lied beyond those innocent eyes?
The worry and the fear at times will make a grown man cry.
And with their final memory slipping away,
You better take cover - it’s gonna hurt before you even get to try.

Take Cover. Take Cover.

A husband gave his, a wife gave hers.
Gave all they could give like love entrepreneurs.
But the one they let in is the one that hurts them the most.
A husband gave his, a wife gave hers.

Could they have ever known what lied beyond those innocent eyes?
The worry and the fear at times will make a grown man cry.
And with their final memory slipping away,
You better take cover - it’s gonna hurt before you even get to try.

Take Cover. Take Cover.
