Daydreaming on the tire swing
Watching the clouds float by
When a truck pulled up to the curb
Ms. Dolly ran outside

Two men in uniform
Sat her down on her porch
I didn’t want to watch but I couldn’t ignore
The tears next door

I was three when they moved in
Their daughter was seventeen
I always looked to her
but she never noticed me

When I watched from my window
as she left for war last Spring
I tried not to stare but I couldn’t ignore
The tears next door

Now I understand / just a little more
What all the fighting and the crying’s for
The red, white and blue
It’s for me and you

Now I sit on the tire swing
And watch the clouds once more
Think about all I’ve learned
From the tears next door

The papers are piled up
And the curtains stay closed
But the flag still flying proud
For one who never came home

Now I understand / just a little more
What all the fighting and the crying’s for
The red, white and blue
It’s for me and you

Now I sit on the tire swing
And watch the clouds once more
But the flags still flying proud
For the one who never came home
