Jack woke up
|
At his desk
|
His feet up high
|
Remembering that it's Tuesday
|
Goodbye
|
|
Whoa oh oh
|
He's off to fight the war
|
Whoa oh no
|
And it makes daddy proud
|
|
His mother cries
|
As she packs the bags
|
Jackie takes the pictures
|
And wraps them in
|
His t-shirt
|
Gently
|
|
Whoa oh oh
|
Alive for one last look
|
Of use his eyes
|
|
Jackie's eyes
|
See the man
|
Clear enough
|
To understand
|
Why he's leavin'
|
|
With her here
|
He feels a guide
|
Gertrude asks will you forget
|
Will you forget me?
|
|
Betty cries, too
|
Jimmy won't speak
|
Cursing his eyes
|
For a fucking week
|
He's a true friend
|
|
To you
|
Whoa oh oh
|
The day is done, the sun is down
|
The moonlight
|
|
My mother, Sue
|
Grabs me tight
|
Father cried
|
And daddy never cries
|
Now that I'm leavin'
|
|
Gertrude looks,
|
Tiny eyes,
|
Says the way I see you now
|
Just like the day when I met you
|
Just like the day when I met you
|
|
He's a friend
|
He's a son
|
In our prayers
|
He lights a run
|
Until he was shot down
|
Until he was shot down
|
The day that I met you
|
|
Flowers rest
|
Next to Jackie's name
|
Carved in stone
|
His brother's also blooming
|
