I've heard the sound of my dear old momma crying And the sound of the train that took me off to war And the awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding And I wondered if I could take it anymore There were times when they almost drove me crazy But I did my best, I took it like a man But who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it The one sound in the world my heart can't stand To hear that sound and to know its really over Through tear-stained eyes I watched her walk away And of earthquakes, storms and guns and wars Lord, nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound The closing of the door And of earthquakes, storms and guns and wars Lord nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound The closing of the door
