Sleeping through the day time like a child
Upright through the nighttime running wild
Thinking I will never be as strong
As the day is long
I saw the coward day the sun ...son
Hiding in the house where we belong
I saw the blood flow red and it ran long
And all my brothers
It's a swift turning clock we travel on
From boy to man from four to one???
Some of us who rest and grow
Don't need to know
Don't need to know
I still hear them all summer long
Will they let me join them one day
I still hear them all summer long
Will they turn me away
We've lost 3 fighting booker in Virginia
One came back with a body full of holes
I wouldn't let my mother come and see him
All down in blood and gold
It's a long lonely night we gaze upon
When all the stars are dead and gone
The moonlight shines on all our heads
And to the west, and to the west
I still hear them all summer long
Will they let me join them one day
I still hear them all summer long
Will they turn me away, away, away, away
I still hear them all summer long
Will they let me join them one day
I still hear them al summer long
Will they turn me away, away, away, away
