( couple of hammer ons)
Lonely soldier go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes, see nothing to shoot
Good feet, feel good giving up good boots
So ask your father how'd you fall
So ask your father how'd you fall
Like a leaf, sitting on the ground
Good for nothing, except kicking around
She died with her hands stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with her mind, full of doubt
and thoughts of weakening
so may your river never dry
and may your mouth never lie
may you be satisfied, to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die
and then on with the next verse as before. Comments welcome.
