Where people walk alone

No one seems to worry now

And just a few years back 

There was a war going on



And there's a man who stands alone all day

And plays the violin

Wearing a hat and long coat

A man without a name

There's been a war going on



(CHORUS)

We're feeding the strings with memories

Telling things that words can't say

Feeding the strings with melodies

Telling things that words can't say



The story ends one day

And the music plays no more

On the empty sidewalk stays the soul

Of a man who used to tell

There was a war going on



(CHORUS)

We're feeding the strings with memories

Telling things that words can't say

Feeding the strings with melodies

Telling things that words can't say



Feeding the strings with memories

Telling things that words can't say

Feeding the strings with melodies

Telling things that words can't say
