It keeps popping into my head...

   On the road to Basra stood young Lieutenant Jimmy Bly
   Detailed to go through the clothes of the soldiers who died
   At night in dreams he sees their souls rise
   Like dark geese into the Oklahoma skies

   Well this is a prayer for the souls of the departed
   Those who've gone and left their babies brokenhearted
   This is a prayer for the souls of the departed

Souls Of The Departed, Bruce Springsteen

Naturally, the whole thing is quite brilliant but that's the bit that's bugging me now. Posted by david at March 25, 2003 11:12 PM
