• Blood in My Eyes

october 4th 1944

can you hear those birds sing? means we're closer to shore,
means we're closer to home, further from love and war,
further from what made sence, what we were born to do,
what kept blood in our veins and my veins thin with booze,
kept my hand on my gun and my gun by my side,
kept the moon in my thoughts with the sun in my eyes,
kept my head hanging low, kept my gun by my side,
brother's name in my head and the tears from my eyes.
had me praying for death for me and my friends
so we'd never wake up to our lovers again,
'cause every lover had lied when they said we'd be fine,
when they said in good faith they'd sleep alone every night.
hope to come home in one piece with our boys by our side,
now we're ragged and torn like the flags that we fly
like the ones we laid down on a coffin so clean
and see those eyes staring back, the boys we used to be.
i re-read the postcards you sent and wish the truth was a lie,
the waves on the holl throw your words off the side.
the ship takes the dead and the dying back home.
i want to sink to the depths with the letters you wrote.
