Decoration Day Lyrics:

In the sad but lifted air we follow the parade
Soldiers leaving the hometown ground, button spit-shined off to the war
A sad and lifted air we sing true and too sad to say
For some the home is coming
For some the going goes one way

Long look as there is a sight and wave and wave and wave
The train pulls out from the depot the camera makes us brave
The bus turns from the driveway the plane flies from the field
For some the home is coming
For some the going goes one way

Chorus
And the flower speaks for the short sweet hour
We all have been given
And the weeping sweeps the sorrow to keep it from tomorrow
The band plays here comes the parade
The bouquets laid today fresh on the graves
At the beautiful end of May on Decoration Day
