648 : 1/18/00 : Letter to a Dying Man (Flesh and Bones: An Homage 95/101)

Hey brave little trooper
All that I can say
Is it’s a little bit closer
That it’s not as far away
Every song’s a letter
to a dying man
And all that I can say
is I am what I am
That’s a sad song
but then every one
is just a letter
to some poor dying mother’s son
watch another
disappear into air
like a snowflake
here then nowhere
