Lyrics

I've just come back from the war
I'm angry and tired and bored
Scarred by the things that I saw --
Still don't feel like I'm home
Don't want to go back, don't want to stay
I'm still waiting for the big parade
Just before dawn --
Doesn't feel like last fall..
Feels like a friend I've lost touch with
Who I'd hoped wouldn't call --
Blankets and clothes and pictures of wives
The glow of the burning
They saw from the sky..
When I woke up, all swaddled in white
I wanted my mother
Wanted her to tell me why I was alive
I'd write every night just before bed
For a while there I stopped
Did you think I was dead?
The truth of it is, I was just scared
Scared to come back, I wanted to stay
I'm still waiting for the big parade
