BLOOD ON THE MOON
NO!
Don't you tell me
they are here about him!
Those uniformed soldiers,
looking so grim
I'll turn right around
so they can't see my face
when they give me the news
from that terrible place.
The Child of my heart
has gone home to my God
but I want him here
on our homeland's sweet sod.
When will he be here?
Will he be in a casket?
That's a horror-stoked question
but I just have to ask it ~
Do you think that he suffered
Did he cry out for me
Oh, God, can you tell us;
Will his death make men free?
Tonight, in the darkness,
I will sleep in his bed
My head on the pillow
that pillowed his head
and I'll scream in agony
but no one will hear
I want my child back!
I want him here;
He can then rest
and it won't be too soon
But his blood is imprinted
on yesterday's moon.
Don't you tell me
they are here about him!
