Brother, How Was The War? |
I noticed how the leaves have changed |
It’s come to wintertime |
I saw a bit of news today |
I thought maybe I would drop a line |
Brother how was the war? |
I heard you met a woman there |
I hope she makes you smile |
All the shots they show of Vietnam |
I swear I see your face once in a while |
Brother, how was the war? |
Did you get over? |
Did you find what you were looking for? |
She asks me all the time |
She says, «Is he still alive?» |
I remember all the games we’d play |
You’d jump, you’d run, you’d seek, you’d never hide |
Brother, how was the war? |
Did you stay sober? |
Did you find what you were looking for? |
Brother, how was the war? |
The days get so long in here |
You wonder what you’ve lost and sold |
All the bullshit passes year to year |
Brother, did we get older? |
I see the draft committee signs |
McCarthy says we’re winning hearts and minds |
But your 4 °F brother just hopes you make it back alive |
I know haven’t written much |
I’m doing okay, I guess |
They say I make parole in sixteen weeks |
I don’t know, I’ll try my best |
Brother, how was the war? |
The days get so long in here |
You wonder what you’ve lost and sold |
All the bullshit passes year to year |
Brother, did we get older on the day the war had begun? |
When were we ever young? |
