He'd Be Glad To Know

I knew a man who fought a war

I knew a man who fought a war

Like hell was heaven-bound

He gave it twenty more

I knew a man who fought a war

I saw a daughter dressed in black

I saw a daughter dressed in black

She wiped a way a tear

For never coming back

I saw a daughter dressed in black

I know a boy above the light

I know a boy above the light

Forgotten in the flame

He battled all his life

I know a boy above the light

I knew the time for me to go

I knew the time for me to go

You said, “I’m glad you came.”

And “He’d be glad to know.”

I thought I knew the way to go

I turned around and saw your eyes

I turned around and saw your eyes

Their snow and evergreen

Painted in my mind

I turned around
