decoration day - them bird things lyrics

Loading...

carried you on my shoulders
on decoration day
like b-tternut soldiers
we unfurled flags in may

shielded you from the sun
we huzzahed the parade
my darling boy, my only one
every prayer i prayed

and as i lay dyin
can’t keep from cryin’ out
your name
bitter as blood
bright as a blade

just like your father
a pearl from a sow’s purse
you left at 18
a family curse

and as i lay dyin
can’t keep from cryin’ out
your name
bitter as blood
bright as a blade

took down the thumbtacks
and campaign maps
chickamagua and hood
and i never understood
if i saw you in a huey
on the way to hue
between clips of lbj

from mother to son
cradle to grave
a dog to vomit
nothing was saved

and as i lay dyin
can’t keep from cryin’ out
your name
i count every breath
i mark every day
too torn to trust
too proud to pray
bitter as blood
bright as a blade
