Well you watched the seeds of summer turn
Into the weeds of brown
Well you left the street you were living on
But never left the town
A frightened soldier running scared
A shadow now I meet
My love was left but so were you
An ice heart in the heat
So shop it around, shop it around
To every five and dime in town
Me I'll be found at the salvage store
Among the lost and found
As a soldier I left long ago
Never to return
Well you never think that there's a bridge
Until it starts to burn
But still I could breathe my last
And leave a flag of blue
It wouldn't mean not half as much
As one more night with you
