10,000 Maniacs - The Big Parade
Detroit to D.C. night train, Capitol, parts East. Lone young man takesaseat. And by the rhythm of the rails, reading all his mother`s mailfrom acity boy in a jungle town postmarked Saigon. He`ll go live hismother`sdream, join the slowest parade he`ll ever see. Her weight of sorrowscarried long and carried far. "Take these, Tommy, to The Wall."Metro line to the Mall site with a tour of Japanese. He`s wanderingandlost until a vet in worn fatigues takes him down to where they belong.Neara soldier, an ex-Marine with a tattooed dagger and eagle trembling, hebiteshis lip beside a widow breaking down. She takes her Purple Heart,makes afist, strikes The Wall. All come to live a dream, to join the slowestparadethey`ll ever see. Their weight of sorrows carried long and carriedfar,taken to The Wall.It`s 40 paces to the year that he was slain. His hand`s slipping downTheWall for it`s slick with rain. How would life have ever been the sameif thiswall had carved in it one less name? But for Christ`s sake, he`s beendeadover 20 years. He leaves the letters asking, "Who caused my mother`stears,was it Washington or the Viet Cong?" Slow deliberate steps areinvolved.He takes them away from the black granite wall toward the othermonumentsso white and clean.O, Potomac, what you`ve seen. Abraham had his war too, but an honestwar.Or so it`s taught in school.
