Veteran's Day

On and on, I've went and gone and fallen so far behind
 Running, always working, never having no time
 ♪
 Let off from the army settle into sweet repose
 Keeping everything inside until it explodes
 ♪
 Come up in my dream, you won't come down
 You get the feeling that you're being run out of town
 I was a soldier in the evergreen war
 Nobody seems to talk about it no more
 Oh, you, you don't know
 What this life can do to a fool like me
 You, you don't know
 What this life can do to a fool like me
 ♪
 Strangers and their kindnesses help me along the way
 Give me so much more than I can hope to repay
 
 Situations rise and fall but they don't belong to me
 I can't get inside 'em, can't pretend that I see
 
 Caught up in my dream, you won't get free
 You start to get the feeling you're lost out at sea
 Tell all the old men "Stop telling tales"
 Nobody really believes in chasing white whales
 Oh, you, you don't know
 What a love can do to a fool like me
 You, you don't know
 What a love can do to a fool like me
 ♪
 Lying underwater looking up at the surface lights
 Shining so alive and playing games with my eyes
 
 Footfalls on the cobblestone echoing in the fog
 I just act at their command, I do tricks like a dog
 ♪
 Come up in my dream, you won't come out
 You start to see what the mad men are laughing about
 Somewhere in my dream I already know
 I had this one before and I know how it goes
 Oh, you, you don't know
 What this world can do to a fool like me
 You, you don't know
 What this world can do to a fool like me
