I always try to not post more than one song at a time. But being Veteran’s Day, I felt I should make an exception. A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a very good friend of mine about the Vietnam War. Even though it ended April 30 1975, it remains a part of everyone’s life still today. My sincere thanks to all the Veteran’s who are still with us as well as those who sacrificed everything. Tom

Reflection In The Wall


A husband and a father left a wife and newborn son
When they carved his name in marble that's the least they could have done
Seems like it was such a waste we even lost the war
The truth is that we never knew what we were fighting for

I walked up to his fathers house one Sunday afternoon
A flag waved from Memorial Day as May turned into June
I just could not bring myself to knock upon his door
And look into those eyes that had been wounded by the war

So I made my way up to DC sometime in the fall
Found his name behind my own reflection in the wall
I often think about him and wondered if there'd be
A way it could have turned out differently

Break


So I made my way up to DC sometime in the fall
Found his name behind my own reflection in the wall
I often think about him and wondered if there'd be
A way it could have turned out differently

Nowadays I struggle with my place in all of this
A friend of mine reduced to just a name upon a list
I could put this all behind me but I ain't goin there yet
the least that I can do is promise never to forget


So I made my way up to DC sometime in the fall
Found his name behind my own reflection in the wall
I often think about him and wondered if there'd be
A way it could have turned out differently
