Goodnight, Saigon

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 had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hashpipe and played our doors tapes
And it was dark, so dark at night
And we held on to eachother
Like brother to brother
We promised our mother's we'd write

And we will all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we will all go down together

Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong, and who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day
In the plams
Of our hands
They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as

Six weeks on Parris Island
We held the coastland, they held the highlands
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted our rotors
And waited for us to arrive

And we will all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we will all go down together
~*~"Goodnight, Saigon" Billy Joel

Just some food for thought... It's an amazing song. Think about what you think it's about, and post your comments. Remind me to tell you later, like in a few days. Only if I get some comments!

Anywho. I feel sick today. I've been drinking tea with lemon and hot water with lemon and sucking on plain lemon and lemon cough drops and just for good measure, some more lemon. Ugh. Hopefully though Mitch will come over later. Then tonight I have a new church member's dinner to go to.

Tomorrow Molly and I *edit: and Alonzo (happy?)* are going to see Finding Neverland again. I might get to go on Monday too, with my family. That would be awesome because I haven't seen this movie nearly enough times!

Ok well still thoughts swirling... but only swirling, not writing. So I'm gonna go work on my bio project. Fun fun!

Love to all cause love is good!
