Bilingual
Well, I found a bunch of letters
They were written for the fellow
Who broke your mama's heart
And the envelope folds
Smelled of her ancient perfume
And I'll bet she didn't know
How to respond before the blankets of snow
Caught him out wandering alone
No place to go
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles and pills that were easy to buy
Keep her warm from the oncoming storm
Well, I found them in the northwest corner of the attic
In a box labeled "Tinsel and Lights"
Didn't know what I was looking for
Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
When Eisenhower sent him to war
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
And when he hit shore
It must have been a target for the gun-men
There were stars in the sky
There were bunkers on the hill
And there were caskets to fill where he would lie
Shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes
There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
There were bottles and pills that were easy to buy
Keep her warm from the oncoming storm
