In The Still Of The Night

[Raggedy Ann]

In the still of the night I heard the wail of shells as they passed in the night.

In the still of the night I heard the distant rumble as they fell to earth.

In the still of the night I could see the lighting flashes of falling shells.

In the still of the night I could feel the earth screaming in pain under my feet.

In the still of the night I could feel the cries of young boys as they died.

In the still of the night I felt my heart die a little for those young boys.

In the still of the night I knew that those boys would not see daylight again.

In the still of the night one lonely tear ran down my cheek for each of those young boys.

In the still of the night you could hear your Heart beat, and , it was to loud. A rain drop on a poncho was as distinct as a AK47 going off, and Bushes really did move.
