Two days past eighteen |
| [00:09.76] |
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens |
| [00:12.57] |
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there |
| [00:15.66] |
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair |
| [00:19.05] |
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile |
| [00:21.89] |
So he said would you mind sitting down for a while |
| [00:24.92] |
And talking to me |
| [00:26.52] |
I'm feeling a little low |
| [00:30.94] |
She said I'm off in an hour |
| [00:32.79] |
And I know where we can go |
| [00:40.37] |
So they went down and they sat on the pier |
| [00:43.40] |
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care |
| [00:46.55] |
I got no one to send a letter to |
| [00:49.84] |
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you |
| [00:59.70] |
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [01:05.80] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [01:08.35] |
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier |
| [01:12.08] |
My love will never end |
| [01:14.83] |
Waiting for the soldier to come back again |
| [01:18.21] |
Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| [01:22.24] |
My soldiers coming home |
| [01:30.02] |
The letters came from an army camp |
| [01:33.00] |
In California and Viet Nam |
| [01:35.99] |
He told her of his heart It might be love |
| [01:39.28] |
And all of the things he was so scared of |
| [01:42.46] |
He said when it's getting kinda tough over here |
| [01:45.40] |
I think of that day sitting down at the pier |
| [01:48.39] |
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile |
| [01:54.62] |
Don't worry but |
| [01:55.44] |
I won't be able to write for awhile |
| [02:01.67] |
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [02:07.55] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [02:10.08] |
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier |
| [02:13.06] |
My love will never end |
| [02:15.90] |
Waiting for the soldier to come back again |
| [02:20.04] |
Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| [02:23.82] |
My soldiers coming home |
| [03:05.07] |
One Friday night at a football game |
| [03:07.90] |
The lords prayer said and the anthem sang |
| [03:10.80] |
The man said |
| [03:11.80] |
Folks would you bow your head |
| [03:14.04] |
For the list of local Viet Name dead |
| [03:20.46] |
Crying all alone under the stands |
| [03:22.80] |
Was the picolo player in the marching band |
| [03:26.09] |
And one name read nobody really cared |
| [03:32.57] |
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair |
| [03:38.95] |
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [03:45.42] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [03:48.69] |
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier |
| [03:51.53] |
My love will never end |
| [03:54.02] |
Waiting for the soldier to come back again |
| [03:57.56] |
Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| [04:01.59] |
My soldiers coming |
| [04:03.38] |
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [04:09.66] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [04:12.70] |
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier |
| [04:15.44] |
My love will never end |
| [04:18.38] |
Waiting for the soldier to come back again |
| [04:20.97] |
Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| [04:25.95] |
My soldiers coming home |
