Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Same old café
Different calendar on the wall
I straighten my collar
Hands shaking like they did in the war
Door chimes once
You walk in, silver hair, same scar
Right over your eyebrow
Yeah, I know exactly who you are
[Chorus]
Two war heroes at a corner table
Old boots, new handshake, best we're able
We made it home but we left some parts out there
You say my name like it’s a prayer
We don’t cry, we “wipe the dust”
Raise black coffee to the ones we trust
All these years and all that sand between
Now you’re more than just a story in my dreams
[Verse 2]
You laugh too loud
Tell me you still hear that plane
I say I still sleep
On the side with the window and rain
We trade bad jokes
About knees that don’t wanna run
But when we say Tommy
Both of us suddenly come undone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We talk about grandkids
Photos shaking in our hands
About nights we almost didn’t
About promises in foreign land
You say, “I thought I lost you”
I say, “Man, so did I”
Two tired soldiers
Finally standing eye to eye
[Chorus]

First verse intimate and sparse, then chorus widens with organ pad, stacked low harmonies, and a simple, singing electric guitar line. Bridge swells with a lift in the drums and a higher harmony, then pulls back for a quiet, emotional last chorus., heartfelt, strong
