July 1945 It reads as follows..... "Surrender or Die" Signed by the Mad Gator from ATB PS: Well! we all know now that a lot of Japanese did die because they dropped the atomic bomb and the Mad Gator never got to talk to Mr Hirohito...but thats History for you. "Who can say where the road goes, Where the day flows, only time." ........ |
"History belongs to Everyone; It shouldn't be thrown away as Trash or locked away in Dark Rooms." |
Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows, only time?
And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose, only time?
Who can say why your heart sights,
As your live flies, only time?
And who can say why your heart cries
when your love lies, only time?
Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be ,in your heart?
and who can say when the day sleeps,
and the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart.....
Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose, only time?
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time?
Who knows? Only time
