Lyrics
I've been reading old love letters (CHORUS)
From the years before the war
Empty fields and yellow paper
Nothing grows here
Anymore
Old photos in their broken frames
Young men in brown wool coats
Leaving Omaha from the station
Railroad tracks
Still filled with ghosts
Two long years
Several letters
How the days can last so long
Empty fields and empty suitors
Two long years
Her man was gone
Saw Nebraska bruised and battered
In the Fall of forty-four
Bought their house on VA money
and he tolds his girl
"Welcome home"
(CHORUS)
Factory work
Two small children
Oh how the years have come and gone
Empty fields and how she needs him
But all her man
Did not come home
In 75' the cancer took him
True to his word he died at home
Factory work and two grown children
This time
All her man was gone
(CHORUS)
