Alternate Lyrics

[Paul Butler]

Well, I've been a big fan since I saw you guys perform at the Guinness Fleadh in Arlington Heights, IL in 1998.  I don't know why I wasn't really aware of your "being there" offerings at that time, but I can tell you that set blew me away. 

 

On this Memorial Day 2015, I would like to offer my alternate version of your lyrics to the last verse of Ashes of American flags from "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel".

I would also like permission to use them in my future Memorial Day and Veterans Day events that I am involved with in and around my community.

 

 

Here they are:

 

I would like to salute

the ashes of American flags

and all the fallen heroes

lost between the stony crags

now their lives are only visions

I know I would die if they could come back new

 

I can't wait to see you guys again, I hope you are coming to Orlando/Tampa Bay area of Florida soon.

 

Thanks.
