Testo Goodnight Saigon - Joan Baez
Testo della canzone Goodnight Saigon (Joan Baez), tratta dall'album The Complete Gold Castle Masters
We met as soulmates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
We came in spastic like tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
We had no homefront, we had no soft soap
They sent us playboy and they gave us barboil
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
And we had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We smoked our hash pipe and we played our Doors tapes
And it was dark, so dark at night
And we held on to each other like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we'll all go down together
Yes, we'll all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Remember Charlie, remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It doesn't matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the night and the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks on Parris Island
We held the coastline and they held the highland
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of the motors
They counted the rotors
And they waited for us to arrive
And we'll all go down together
Yes, we'll all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
