Men In A War Lyrics

 Suzanne Vega
 
 Men in a war
 If they've lost a limb
 Still feel that limb
 As they did before
 
 He lay on a cot
 He was drenched in a sweat
 He was mute and staring
 But feeling the thing
 He had not
 
 I know how it is
 When something is gone
 A piece of your eyesight
 Or maybe your vision
 
 A corner of sense
 Goes blank on the screen
 A piece of the scan
 Gets filled in by hand
 
 You know that it was
 And now it is not
 So you just make do with
 Whatever you've got
 
 Men in a war
 If they've lost a limb
 Still feel that limb
 As they did before
 
 If your nerve is cut
 If you're kept on the stretch
 You don't feel your will
 You can't find your gut
 
 And she lay on her back
 She made sure she was hid
 She was mute and staring
 Not feeling the thing
 That she did
 
 I know how it is
 When something i
A piece of your eyesight
 Or maybe your vision
