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
