Confession
Scarlet sheets upon the bed
Dreams of you in my head
I was so lonely...you had gone
leaving me to dream alone...
The nights were sleepless...cold
All I wanted was for us to grow old
No Asian war dragging on...
It’s the reason you had gone
I didn’t understand the lives
offered to a thankless land...
On scarlet sheets each night I did await
for a monster...Vietnam...to abate
sending home to me the one
to whom in my heart I did run
I waited...our lives on hold
dreams not yet begun...
On scarlet sheets at night I did cry
Never understanding why...
They said the cause was just
...In the cause I did not trust
All I could do was cry...and wonder why...
(...Was Vietnam worth our goodbye?)
