"You Turned On The Tap" lyrics

After all that time, boots on the ground
War was over, but the news didn't reach this side of town
Rows of flowerbeds died in the heat
Sprinklers were on, but they would not reach this side of the street

Go back home, rest your head
Sheets are on, but they will not reach the side of the bed
Where I'll be balled-up crying

After all of that running around
You didn't even notice I was letting you down

Can anyone out there pass the salt?
I need to feel somebody reach across the table
Oh, nothing can prepare you
For losing someone dear to your heart
Don't get caught-up trying

After all of that running around
You didn't even notice I was letting you down

The grass was dry, coloured brown
You turned on the tap, hosed it down
