YELLOW LEDBETTER

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said ’i wanna leave it again’
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said ’i don’t know whether
I’m the boxer or the bag’
[I don't know whether my brother will be coming home in a box or a bag] (Live at the Garden)
[And my brother...they sent him off to fight for the flag, I just, I don't hope he comes home in a box or a bag"] 7/11/03 - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay...

Make me cry...

Ooooh I see
I don’t know there’s something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh I said I don’t, I don’t know whether I’m a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay
I don’t wanna stay
Don’t
Don’t wanna
Oh... yeah... oooh...
YELLOW LEDBETTER

...on the front side, letter said
Something that I don't wanna think of in my head...
And I try not to dream of him every night, but I still hear him
And that's all that I can think of.
The letter that was in my hand that said my brother's coming home in a box or a bag.

Yeah, when I see them I'd like to wish it all away yeah
And I tried and a phoned and I coulda left a message
Can't get through to Afghanistan
Want to see him
I knew him like a friend
My brother's coming home in a box or a bag
