Текст песни Song For Jeffrey Lucey (Meg Hutchinson) с переводом

You would’ve made a great dad

If you’d lived that long

Your eyes are warm and kind on the evening news

There was a big celebration when you walked of that bus

With all your limbs intact we thought you’d made it back to us

And no one knew, what you’d been made to do over there

You were almost twenty-two when they shipped you out

With the sixth motor transport battalion

Operation Freedom, also known as the war

No place for a good kid just trying to pay for school

And no one knew, what you’d be made to do over there

Yellow ribbons still fluttering from the trees beside the house

Memory was a cancer that you could not live without

But you could not live with it

Oh… no you could not live with it

In the dark you held your flashlight, still listening for spiders

In the days you drank alone in your old room

Haunted always by the voices, by the jingling of the tags

Holding on to one little corner of that flag

And no one knew…

Yellow ribbons still fluttering from the trees beside the house

Made a pillow for your head and they laid you down

Oh they laid you down

Oh… oh they laid you down

And no one knew

What you’d been made to do

And all there love couldn’t keep you
