Rainbow Colored Eyes

Once I met a woman
 With a rainbow colored eye
 When she had to hurry home
 I had to ask her why
 She looked back at me
 With a face in sudden glow
 You should leave that man I said
 He'll never let you grow
 Strange life, from that day
 I never saw her again
 I remember the weather
 A blend of sun and rain
 Shortly after that
 Violence shook my land
 You ought to fight they said
 And put a gun into my hand
 Go to war, go to war
 Green, I was green
 On the battlefield
 When that bullet pierced my chest
 It felts so good to yield
 But somebody helped me up
 Somebody with fate in me
 I thought I recognized him
 From my company
 Go brother go, go brother go
 My brother dropped dead
 And I fell to feel the grass
 It was then I understood
 This life just wouldn't last
 And nobody or nothing
 Could ever intrude
 That last, kind of strange
 But great solitude
 Go soul go, go soul go
 Once again I saw
 That rainbow colored
 She came down from heaven
 And told me that I could die
 She took my hand
 And led me from this show
 I just looked back at my body
 Overfilled with crows
 Go sister go, go sister go
