I would say ``never or soon''... Either I come home with a silver star As a hero back from the war Or I come home in a coffin Draped with flowers, still and cold! I come home in the mid of the night A poncho wrapping me tight I come home and time goes by... Your young hair has turned to white! I come home I have a gift for you: This bullet out of my flesh And if you remarry I'll give it to you as a memory! I come home on a leg of wood I come home a warrior in defeat And if we walk to the streets You'll feel ashamed being with me... I come home we look at each other Like two strangers We will try not to remember Our names our faces forever... You ask me when I come home? I would say ``never or soon''...\\ \medskip \hspace*{3.0in} copyright by PhamDuy SACEM-Paris \end{document}
