Cowards Sing At Night. Songtext

von Tom Gabel

Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night.
Human virtue affirmed, we are ennobled 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 Vietnam.

Come back home Johnny.
Come back home Johnny.
Come back home from Vietnam.

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

Come back home Johnny.
Come back home Johnny.
Come back home from Vietnam.

Come back home Johnny.
Come back home Johnny.
Come back home from Vietnam.

Your war is over.
Your war is over.
Your war is over...Johnny
