Little Things (that Keep Us Together) Lyrics - 'til The Band Comes In - Scott Walker

It's on days like these 

When your brother falls 

You can read it all in the Times 

How a moving car 

Stole a movie star 

Little Things that keep us together 

While the war's going on 

It's on days like these 

When your childhood cries 

And you see it all on the news 

Little children starve 

Growing tired of born 

Little things that keep us all close and warm 

While the war's going on 

Find a place you can hide 

And take what you can 

The time will arrive 

When you need a friend 

Stop looking at us 

We're waving good-bye 

There's a man 

Shouting he's with me 

When that morning comes 

I can't wait to see 

Just how high his eagle 

On color screens 

Is gonna fly 

Going to fly 

It's on nights like these 

That your neighbor dies 

'Cos he put a gun to his head 

He was so alone 

He had nothing left 

Little things that call for a drink 

That bury a soldier's death 

It's on days like these 

When your sister cries 

And your brother falls from your hands 

Jumbo jets can die 

Killing 81 

Little things that help us get by the why 

Why the war's going on 

Why the war's going on 

Why the war is going on 

why the war is going on 

why the war's going on 

why the war's going on
