lyrics

I saw you out most every day
at the Soldiers’ Home
Your lack of fanfare on display
at the Soldiers’ Home
25 calvary with sabers drawn,
it wasnt what you wanted but you went along
at the Soldiers’ Home
at the Soldiers’ Home

Missus Lincoln dressed in black
at the Soldiers’ Home
For every soul that won’t come back
at the Soldiers’ Home
Once when you passed on the avenue
I saw in your face what we’d done to you
at the Soldiers’ Home
at the Soldiers’ Home

The nation mourns a fallen friend
at the Soldiers’ Home
I search for words to comprehend
at the Soldiers’ Home
The one man we couldn’t afford to lose
O captain My Captain, who fills those shoes?
Putting our grief into poetry
But cold is the comfort of simile
at the Soldiers’ Home
at the Soldiers’ Home
