Vermont
When a haunting song captures the mood of loss. And a picture too.
Today's the fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town
I just think what a waste of gunpowder and sky
I'm certain I am alone
In harbouring thoughts of our home
It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
…
So that's today's memory lane
With all the pathos and pain
Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
And they're always the same
A verse, then a verse, and refrain
