WHAT REMAINS......
(Vietnam: Nov '65 - Nov '66, 3 Corps AO)

Tears
and grief,

a war so old.

the windy cliffs,

bone white
and cold.

A wind,
cold and blue

deep river wind
thinking of you,

... america

and a war somewhere,
hot,
deadly
quick,
... and tired of itself.

home is restless
to know why.

america,
knockin' on her own door.

america!

who will let her in?

a war somewhere?

hot,

deadly,
and quick?

tired of itself
war?

america
is still
knockin' on my
door.
