lyrics

Once in a while, I go down to the side of the road where I said bye to you.
You have been gone so long, I don't know when I last held you and closed my own eyes.
Seems like nothing can last.

But the birds and the bees will hide in the trees
And swim in the lakes of our pride
The shadows they make will grow tall on the wall
Cause grown men to cry, and strong knees to shake

They came with a flag and a, "Thank you, my dear, for the service your son did provide."
I felt my knees break as the world crashed around, all the things I held dear turned to dust.
Now you only live in my mind.

But the birds and the bees will hide in the trees
And swim in the lakes of our pride
The shadows they make will grow tall on the wall
Cause grown men to cry, and strong knees to break

"Goodbye my dear, please don't shed but a tear.
I will see you in July.
We will grow happy in our little home,
I will be back before long"
