"A daughter born the day they walked the
moon
Somewhere on the edge of the Age of
Aquarius
In the year her mother
Would have
otherwise forgotten

July was very hot in
North Carolina
So she left for Buffalo on a
bus in the rain
With the steam off the asphalt
still wet in her hair
And the pain of her
soldier gone
Just sailed away

Before he
was a soldier, he was just his mother's boy
And
that's exaclty how she planned to keep him
His
father died so long ago and he was all she
had
Still she shared his love with a very
young wife
And before the war things weren't
so bad

But every generation makes the same
mistakes
And still they send their sons away to
do the same
The mothers cry and the daughters
die inside
And the sons like the
fathers
March

Whose hair was longer?  I
think his, she might say
But in the army they
cut it all away
Too much room for wild
thoughts to grow

And in the spring of his
child's first year
The father, hey the son,
the husband
Under beautiful sky, youth like
fire in his eyes
He gave his life for
nothin'
No, nothin' at all, they
said

So many years and the pain it still
remains
And now her daughter's man will sail
away
Politics and promises forever the
same
We take away and sacrifice what we cannot
replace

And every generation makes the same
mistakes
And still they send their sons away to
do the same
And the mothers cry and the
daughters die inside
And the sons like the
fathers
Now the sons and the
daughters
March

Buffalo in the winter,
bitter as it is
Is home for three generations
of widowed brides"
