March |
«A daughter born the day they walked the moon |
Somewhere on the edge of the Age of Aquarius |
In the year her mother |
Would have otherwise forgotten |
July was very hot in North Carolina |
So she left for Buffalo on a bus in the rain |
With the steam off the asphalt still wet in her hair |
And the pain of her soldier gone |
Just sailed away |
Before he was a soldier, he was just his mother’s boy |
And that’s exaclty how she planned to keep him |
His father died so long ago and he was all she had |
Still she shared his love with a very young wife |
And before the war things weren’t so bad |
But every generation makes the same mistakes |
And still they send their sons away to do the same |
The mothers cry and the daughters die inside |
And the sons like the fathers |
March |
Whose hair was longer? |
I think his, she might say |
But in the army they cut it all away |
Too much room for wild thoughts to grow |
And in the spring of his child’s first year |
The father, hey the son, the husband |
Under beautiful sky, youth like fire in his eyes |
He gave his life for nothin' |
No, nothin' at all, they said |
So many years and the pain it still remains |
And now her daughter’s man will sail away |
Politics and promises forever the same |
We take away and sacrifice what we cannot replace |
And every generation makes the same mistakes |
And still they send their sons away to do the same |
And the mothers cry and the daughters die inside |
And the sons like the fathers |
Now the sons and the daughters |
March |
Buffalo in the winter, bitter as it is |
Is home for three generations of widowed brides" |
