Chris: We could not find her anywhere Honey, what's wrong?
Ellen: Kim was here- The one who had to tell her was me
John: Oh, my god, it's my fault
Chris: I knew we were gone too long!
Ellen: No, I think it's exactly what I had to see There are some things you left out all right She wants her husband to go to her place tonight
Chris: That's not how things were, I just promised her
John: It's the same to her
Ellen: Don't explaain There's nothing you can say It's like she went insane She tried to give away her own child
John: She wants her son to be an American boy
Ellen: Don't you see, she still thinks she's married to you You must tell her she's not she must hear it from you 'course it only depends if it's true
Chris: Please don't doubt me, Ellen You're my wife Lots of guys came back and had no life I had you
Ellen: You can say what you want, but she's borne you a son In your nightmares the name that you shouted was hers You've been with me two years and not shared things you've done Don't hold back Let me see Is it her now or me?
Chris: Let me tell you the way it was Back when I was a different man Back when I didn't have a clue who I am The feelings locked behind a dam That kept me there in Vietnam
There in the shambles of a war I found what I was looking for Saigon was crazed, but she was real And for one moment I could feel
I saw a world I never knew And through her eyes I suffered, too In spite of all the things that were I started to believe in her
So I wanted to save her, protect her, Christ I'm American How could I fail to do good All I made was a mess, just like everyone else, In a place full of mystery That I never once understood I wanted back a world I knew The story of my life began again-with you
Ellen: Chris: It's all right now Oh Ellen, I should have told you I'm with you We'll get through this Will you ever, ever trust me again? We'll pull through All I want All I have In my life In my life now is you is you
