The Big Parade Lyrics

I've just come back from the war.

 I'm angry and tired and bored.

 Scarred by the things that I saw --

 Still don't feel like I'm home.

 Don't want to go back, don't want to stay.

 I'm still waiting for the big parade.

 Just before dawn --

 doesn't feel like last fall...

 feels like a friend I've lost touch with

 who I'd hoped wouldn't call --

 blankets and clothes and pictures of wives,

 the glow of the burning

 they saw from the sky...

 When I woke up, all swaddled in white

 I wanted my Mother

 wanted her to tell me why I was alive

 I'd write every night just before bed.

 For a while there I stopped.

 Did you think I was dead?

 The truth of it is, I was afraid.

 Scared to come back, I wanted to stay.

 I'm still waiting for the big parade.
