The Gunner - Tehran

Verse 1

Dust

Dry wind

Sand in my boots

Cold metal on my side

I watch the desert swallow the sun

Empty

Heavy

Waiting for the call

Nobody comes for a ghost like me

Chorus

Take me back to Tehran

Take me back to Tehran

Where the mountains meet the sky

And the memories never die

Tehran

Tehran

Verse 2

Black ink

White walls

Counting all the days

Stone floors and a locked door

I hear the sirens screaming through the rain

Lost

Forgot

Buried in the noise

A broken man with a hollow voice

Broken

Bleeding

Thinking of the garden

Thinking of the home I left behind

Chorus

Take me back to Tehran

Take me back to Tehran

Where the mountains meet the sky

And the memories never die

Tehran

Tehran

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Run from the fire

Run from the wire

Run from the liar

I am coming home

I am coming home

I am coming home

Chorus

Take me back to Tehran

Take me back to Tehran

Where the mountains meet the sky

And the memories never die

Tehran

Tehran

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Oh oh

Tehran

Tehran

Home now

Home now

Outro

I remember the smell of the rain

The way the wind felt on my face

Gone

Gone

Tehran
