Always loved this song,esp his lead vocal. Still has that masterful tenor after all these years...
Some folks may know this story- Bruce and Ron Kovic (played by Tom Cruise in the movie)
Bruce's trek to "The Wall" in the late 90s to find the names of Walter and Bart enscribed there. He ends up having a conversation with their spirits, which he manifests lyrically as "Billy". Love this song...
On the ground dog tags and wreaths of flowers
With ribbons red as the blood
Red as the blood you spilled in the Central Highlands mud
Limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue
Rustling the leaves as they fall
And apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
Here at the wall
I've never been in combat, but it seems only human to keep moving on with the hope of returning home to a normal life.
The sad part is war can make many us unable to ever be normal again even when back at home.
