Just for a moment I was a time traveler Nicotine, coffee beans Trudging through the Ardennes Running down some cobblestone road I still don’t know where it goes Just for a moment I was a woman A slightly distorted version of myself Strong cheekbones petite nose What are those? Just for a moment Seventy-three years ago A machine gun in my hand Making my last stand Just for a moment I was truly myself   Something I’ve never felt My soul is crying out

Old soul
Just for a moment I was a time traveler Nicotine, coffee beans Trudging through the Ardennes Running down some cobblestone road I still don’t know where it goes Just for a moment I was a woman A slightly distorted version of myself Strong cheekbones petite nose What are those? Just for a moment Seventy-three years ago A machine gun in my hand Making my last stand Just for a moment I was truly myself   Something I’ve never felt My soul is crying out
