Tommy got a medal in the war

He never wears it

Man’s got a hole in the dead

Nobody’s cares

Tommy hears voice at night

Nobody’s there

He’ll never get used to bein' half a man

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Come to take me home

Pull me from a cold black river

If the angels come

There’s a fire burnin' in the sky tonight

Buried his wife in '49

Nobody came

Forty years later and

Tommy’s still living in pain

He’s still waiting for that sweet girl

To come back again

He’ll never get used to being half alive

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Come to take me home

Pull me from a cold black river

If the angels come

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Take away this sadness I am dying from

Tommy lost more than his mind in '64

Drank away a family, looking for a whole lot more

He still thinks a hero will be a savior

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Come to take me home

Pull me from a cold black river

If the angels come

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Don’t leave me alone

Take away this sadness I am dying from

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Come to take me home

Pull me from a cold black river

If the angels come

There’s a fire burnin' the sky tonight

Take away this sadness I am dying from
