Kandahar Lyrics

I remember walking down a dusty road

Kandahar, the sky was clear

Praying the culverts would not explode

And end my twenty three years

Nazir and Mustafa, they spoke three tongues

One got out and one's still there

Ten years later it all fell pieces

And it seems like no one cares

Some folks stab you in the back

Others leave you on the tracks

Most people never cared at all

I can't find the words to say

I just called him anyway

I just hope he makes it through the fall

Pendulum swinging, and it conquers pride

A battleground, a century

Nazir said it feels just like somebody died

Who am I to disagree?

Hind sightseers tell you just what went wrong

They never spoke when it was right

I'm back walking down a dusty road

Cause I can't sleep tonight

Some folks stab you in the back

Others leave you on the tracks

Most people never cared at all

I can't find the words to say

I just called him anyway

I just hope he makes it through the fall

Leaves behind what's left of it all
