I lied about my age so I could ship out to the war My momma cried, my poppa died a long, long time ago I met you on the porch that night to tell you where I'm goin' To be the man I thought he'd like For glory and for honor Oh my crime was leaving you there all alone And so now I've done my time And I'm heading back home Just skin and bones, skin and bones remain I know I promised I would write each night before the dawn My heart in some lone carrier's side-pouch, arriving at your door But things don't work out like they plan This boy could never have known The thinks I've done with these two hands... They're better left unknown Oh my crime was leaving you there all alone And so now I've done my time And I'm heading back home Just skin and bones, skin and bones remain Can I come from behind? Can I take you in my arms? For your skin and bones, skin and bones I pray The letters piled at my bedside, but I could never open them I never heard about the climb, the fall and how I lost you The past is like a shallow grave The dust can't hide the stories Of all the fallen heroes like The soldier and the scorned
