歌词
We woke up to find a policeman at our door
I was seven years old, our father took the call
Maybe someone down the road had seen it all
The whole neighbourhood’s been quiet
Nothing like that’s ever happened before
My brother, I found him next to me
We followed in his footsteps to the other side of Abilene
Cars pulled up and an angry crowd appeared
Father stood up, we ran up close to interfere
We never had, we never had notice
I’d never lie, but turned up at his office
They would not let him go, they said he was responsible
We just stood next to him, kept holding on
What had we done, is it children’s naivety?
We just knew that night was different than we had ever known a night to be
As we looked to our father and saw the danger diminish
He told us to go home, he’s got some business to finish
Rumours spread like wildfire
An innocent man was guilty without a trial
Father would defend, said don’t give up even when
all odds are stacked up against a broken man.
