lyrics
I've Purple Hearts, a hundred
For those who have wondered
Kills, just a few...
If only you knew...
Hunkered down, in No Man's Land
You can't see the man I am
Left out so long to rust
Only you, my Bro, I trust
Somewhere along this loaded mile
Ghosts are walking single file
To some land, high up above
To Jill, my love, my right-hand glove
To hell with "hope" and with "free"
As no one's really expecting me
Returning home? They can't say
But I'll be returning home today
That one mile, lonely walked
While she stood, sat, and talked
A lonely mile, oh, I know
They look so tiny down below
