Atmaster,

I am waiting for you to transcribe the song so I can identify it and get all the credit!

lol

Dan

A shadow floats across the room
The shape my eyes recall
It's only my frustration
That hides behind the wall

Reflections of my life before
Passing through my brain
My image lies upon the floor
The skies are filled with rain

Come Along ?????????????
You don't know who's dying
You think that's it's alright
But it's all wrong

Mixed up colored pictures
of the life that I have led
and tears that I shed
They say there'll be another day
I'll find myself for sure
So help me look inside my head
or stand outside my door




After transcribing some of the lyrics, I found this song posted on a Russian forum

Sounds like "Come along, sing us all a song" to me...

JP, I too thought I heard 'Sing' and 'song' but I believe they are singing something else. I wonder if the song is talking about war.

The way to solve this mystery may be to transcribe as much as the lryics as possible, then try to fill in the missing lyrics based on the other words.

My image lies upon the floor
The skies are filled with rain

then:
"I see....................................
My minds made up so what else can I say"




The next line - I agree with JP and Claybricks on this one:
"Come along, sing us all a song"
but the verse that starts 'Come Along' repeats and I think in the second one the words are slightly different....
"Come along, sing us .........."


of the life that I have led
and tears that I shed

Between these two lines I hear:
Casting plots of yesterday?



I shut my eyes and look around at places I have known
--------------------------------------------
And everybody says what a shame that people die
I wish I had the time to stick around and fly
And I'd cry

Come Along sing us all a song
Don't you know -------------------------
You and me there's a war going on

Come along sing us all a song
Don't know who is dying
So you think that it's alright, but it's all wrong

A shadow floats across the room
The shape my eyes recall
It's only my frustration
That hides behind the wall
Reflections of my life before
Passing through my brain
My image lies upon the floor
The skies are filled with rain

I keep cold in a war-filled time, domestic rain
My mind's made up so what else can I say

Come along, sing us all a song
Don't you know that a mile away
For you and me, there's a war going on
Come along, sing us all a song
You don't know who is dying
So you think that's it's alright
But it's all wrong

Mixed up colored pictures
of the life that I have led
Casting thoughts of yesterday
and tears that I have shed
They say there'll be another day
I'll find myself for sure
So help me look inside my head
or stand outside my door

I see glory, the music so still outside my face
Voices cry without me from their shallow graves

I shut my eyes and look around at faces I have known
You think they'll call in sympathy
Then come to watch me more
And everybody says what a shame that people die
I wish I had the time to stick around and fly
And I'd cry

Come along, sing us all a song
Don't you know that a mile away
For you and me, there's a war going on
Come along, sing us all a song
You don't know who is dying
So you think that's it's alright
But it's all wrong

Come along, sing us all a song
And boy, you still be crying
The men are out there and gone
Come along, sing us all a song
A hundred miles of the young men there
So you think that's it's alright
But it's all wrong

Come along, sing us all a song
Don't you know that a mile away
For you and me, there's a war going on
Come along, sing us all a song
You don't know who is dying
So you think that's it's alright
But it's all wrong

Come along, sing us all a song
Don't you know that a mile away
For you and me, there's a war going on
Come along, sing us all a song...

Good guess but that's not it: http://www.millisong.com/index.cfm/h...idz63/3779.htm

Don't you know that a mile away
FROM you and me, there's a war going on

At the 3:17 mark, sounds like "One hundred thousand young men dead"
