Lyrics
VERSE 1
In our Mother's arms, I smile and look at you - you're an infant, I am two. My brand new baby brother, we'll stick together side - side by side for life.
And when I hear the sounds of my children, I stop to think of you. And when my concious starts to remind me, I sure do think of you. I'm so ashamed you had to leave...the war is over for everyone but me.
VERSE 2
In our back yard, we run and play all day - we quarrel and fight along the way. You are my best friend brother, we'll stick together side - side by side for life.
And when I feel the south wind blowing, I stop to think of you. And when my concious starts to remind me, I sure do think of you. I'm so ashamed you had to leave...the war is over for everyone but me.
CHORUS
I'm the blue you're the gray. Why did things turn out this way? In a world where one must die - Why couldn't it be I?
VERSE 3
In the battlefield, here we stand to fight, on this Mason-Dixon line. It's me against you brother, and Dad hopes at least one - one of his boys survives.
And when I see the sights of the battle, I stop to think of you. And when my concious starts to remind me, I sure do think of you. I'm so ashamed you had to leave...the war is over for everyone but me.
CHORUS
CHORUS
FINALE
I've just seen your picture in your coat of grey, and I turn my head in tears and walk away. I'm so ashamed you had to leave...the war is over for everyone but me.
