Onelinedrawing - The Big Parade 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 withwho I'd hoped wouldn't call --blankets and clothes and pictures of wives,the glow of the burningthey saw from the sky...When I woke up, all swaddled in whiteI wanted my Motherwanted her to tell me why I was aliveI'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 afraid.Scared to come back, I wanted to stay.I'm still waiting for the big parade.
