[00:37.46]Well, I found a bunch of letters
[00:40.42]Written for the fella who broke your momma’s heart
[00:45.90]And the envelope folds, smelled of her ancient perfume
[00:55.26]I’ll bet she didn’t know
[00:58.52]How to respond before the blankets of snow
[01:02.77]Caught him out wandering alone
[01:06.61]With no place to go
[01:12.97]There were stars in the sky
[01:16.18]There were houses on the hill
[01:18.29]And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
[01:23.08]To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
[01:28.70]Well, I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
[01:34.43]Labeled “Tinsel and lights”
[01:37.31]Didn’t know what I was I looking for
[01:40.32]Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
[01:47.08]Eisenhower sent him to war
[01:50.00]He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
[01:54.96]When he hit shore
[01:57.46]Must have been a target for the gunman
[02:04.56]There were stars in the sky
[02:07.65]There were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
[02:11.78]Where he will lie
[02:14.53]Shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes
[02:21.43]There were stars in the sky
[02:24.74]There were houses on the hill
[02:26.78]And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
[02:31.43]To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
