It's a Raggy Waltz - Dave Brubeck Quartet, Brubeck

Well you have been kind and I know it seems helpless

You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart

You’re helping me move from the inside to the outside

You’re trying so hard and I can’t even start

It’s a war in there, it’s a war in there

Well you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers

If you want to make peace, well you gotta find the pain

And you bring your words but you’re just like them, you’re unprepared

Cause you don’t know the terrain

It’s a war in there, it’s a war in there

And don’t you know I’ll never give you a medal

Made back on stateside in the central time zone

The one that they pin to the outside, to the outside

And it leads you all the way home

It’s a war in there, it’s a war in there

But you can hold me now, you can hold me now
