In Times Square I'll see your face Through the crowd and all the rushed embrace You'll say "I heard you lost an eye" Then we'll watch all the shell-shocked sailors cry It's spring What a load it brings In the air hoping systems work A flaming plane that crashed then turned to dirt I awoke to find my fur had froze The 109's had done as they were told
It's spring What a load it brings When I feel pain Mustangs strafed our train Through the bars we heard the end was near Juxtapose the guard's hate with new fear We were marched through bombed-out gutted towns I'd seen before with my .50's pointed down It's spring What a load it brings
