askin now,
Jes' to watch the freight on
your hair,
Jes' to feei you near me, know It all
came right somehow,
Realize you re back from Over There
When I've closed the shutters an lock
the door up tight
Piled the fire high with wood an
stuff,
Drawn Jour chair closer underneath
the shaded light
Jes' to sit and hsten-that' 5 enoughl
won t make any diff renee if you talk
about the war
Or the buddy that you had TO leave
behind
With white cross for his tombstone
(like y0u wrote TO use before)
Or bout the Frenehy poiln who went
blind;
Or the things that you We been learn.
IN or the way the soldiers drill
On the ship that took you over
seems 70 me
That whatever you can talk about the
words viii cali an thrill
Lake a singin mtin bit o. poetry.
Jes' to sit an listen, jcs to touch
you an then
Not to say a word but jes to know
That the horrid dream is over an
you re safe at home again
An I'll never, never, have to let
you gol
Won I be jes the freight a.shinin
in your smile,
Won't be duty makes your voice so
sweet
Guess perhaps the angels all would
hush their songs awhile
Jes to sit an listen at your feetl
