Static on the Station (Memorial Day Edition)

Static on the Station (Memorial Day Edition)

Morning fog rolls over the green grass [1]

Silent stones standing in a line [1]

Flags are fluttering in the soft breeze [1]

Slowing down the heavy march of time [1]

We gather under the open sky [1]

To remember the names that never fade [1]

There is static on the station radio

But the town parade is moving slow

Red, white, and blue along the street [1]

For the ones who gave it all away [1]

We hold our breath, we clear our minds

On this quiet Memorial Day [1]

An old trumpet plays a lonely song [1]

Fading out into the afternoon

Families sharing stories on the lawn [1]

Leaving empty chairs beneath the moon

A sacrifice we promise to hold close [1]

For the freedom that we live today [1]

There is static on the station radio

But the town parade is moving slow

Red, white, and blue along the street [1]

For the ones who gave it all away [1]

We hold our breath, we clear our minds

On this quiet Memorial Day [1]

The sun goes down, the embers start to glow [1]

We look up at the stars they used to know [1]

More than just a long weekend in May [1]

We carry their light along the way [1]

Static fading on the radio

The evening crowd begins to go

We won't forget [1]

No, we won't forget [1]

On this quiet Memorial Day [1]
