story behind the song: musing about all those unsung heroes in the world
Lyrics
rain and the leaves are falling
and tears from my eyes
wind and the sirens calling
serenading goodbye
i know i'll be back there again
back there to stay
but here no flowers, no friends
just some unmarked grave
heard that voice on the radio
telling you to let me go
try to forget those things
which might still be me
all of the sorrow they bring
those sad memories
i know i'll return once more
i can't stay away
but here no sermon, no words
just some unmarked grave
heard that voice on the radio
telling you to let me go
i wish i was braver now
knowing you're free
i wish i was somehow
that hero you see
i know i'll be there at last
in that final parade
but here no will, no casket
just some unmarked grave
heard that voice on the radio
telling you to let me go
let me go
let me go
let me go ...
