Burnett T-bone Purple Heart Lyrics

Purple Heart Lyrics

through the fields of flame i ran with you

 every blow you took i took with you

 i lied for you when you moved underground

 and covered you as the storm of rage came down

 

      but i will not wear you like a purple heart

 

 to the raging moon burning in the sun

 i held on to you you held on to no one

 i followed you 'til you were out of sight

 and felt the pain as the bullets took the night

 

      but i will not wear you like a purple heart
