Come here wounded soldier Let me dress your wounds Let me remove the arrows from your heart The shrapnel from your eyes Let me give you a small comfort A reprieve from all that is wrong with the world Let me give you a blessing right by the train tracks at your gravesite The cross, white and bold The grass overgrown A bouquet on Memorial Day that signifies all your battles, lost and won.
