Another Name Goes On The Wall
The Fallen,
we will remember them. I miss them still
neo retro adult comtemporary alt-country folk rock pop............
Story behind the song
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
Lyrics
Too young to know better,
saw it all in a movie
soldiers in green beret’s
John wayne and his glory.
Every night on the news
black and white TV the cue
Somebody’s son
Won’t be going home.
V2
Another long July summer
and they landed on the moon
nobody seemed seem to notice
innocence ended too soon
First cigarette had a drag
Smoked cleared , a half mast flag
Somebody’s brother
Won’t be coming back.
V3
Into September
We rode like the wind
We thought we were invincible
Even loosing a war could not bend
Our will to evangelize.
just another fools paradise
a decade written in stone
now on a wall there are the names
of those never coming home.
Chorus:
Another name goes on the wall
Another hero pays the price takes a fall
With each passing day that goes
The less history knows
Another name goes on the wall
Another hero pays the price takes a fall
Another name goes on the wall.
(Thanks Tony Gee for help with the Title for the song
and lyrics in the Chorus )
Outro : ( sound bites )
John F Kennedy
Lyndon B Johnson
Martin Luther King
Walter Cronkite
Dave, Happy Memorial Day - never played this one before. Perfect for Memorial day. Hot guitars! Please don't forget that these men are giants, heroes, full of valor and honor - they are NOT victims. God bless our vets, past and present, especially those who gave the full measure of devotion. Of such men we are not worthy. Dave, thanks for your service to our country my brother. Johnny
