Cowards Sing At Night

Tom Gabel


Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night 
Human blood sure affirms we are noble by our suffering 
I don't believe in exceptionalism 
I still have hope for the future 

Come back home, Johnny 
Come back home, Johnny 
Come back home from being numb 

Without resolve you are self-assured 
With eager anticipation you are ready for war 
Faith in your fathers and in the family 
I hold no regard, I am unapologetic 

Come back home, Johnny 
Come back home, Johnny 
Come back home from being numb 

Your war is over 
Your war is over 
Your war is over, Johnny
