Last night
Last night I was walking through the harbourWhere the fishing boats are lying on the shoreThe news had travelled fast and everyone went to beWhere the mayor was making a speechAnd the crowd started cheeringWhen he talked about the glory of it allAnd the boys coming home from the war
Last night, they were dancing in the streetsAnd making music in the alleyways and barsFrom a house down in the old town came the sound of guitarsMargarita was waiting insideWith her long black hair hanging down beneath the red lightAnd she smiled, for the boys coming home from the warThe boys coming home from the war
And they said we were heroesthey said we were fineWe were kings in commandwe had God on our sideAnd we said "nothing will make us change in any waySince yesterday - we're just the sameSince yesterday - nothing has changedSince yesterday - we're just the same,"But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger insideTo be satisfiedI saw it there last night
Last night I was walking through the shadowsFar away from all the music and the girlsWhen I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in blackAnd they stood without any wordJust staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cryFor a boy left behind in the warSome boy left behind in the war
And they said we were heroesthey said we were fineWe were kings in command,we had God on our sideAnd we said "nothing will make us change in any waySince yesterday - we're just the sameSince yesterday - nothing has changedSince yesterday - we're just the same,"But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,To be satisfied, I saw it there last night...
