Lyrics
Oh I've just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

You just can't believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die and I will see it soon

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

Thanks!
Not sure if you knew or not, but the quote is actually in the opening of the movie, so I can't take credit for using it to describe Everett's journey. I did like it, especially in context with the film and I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

This is great! What a perfect song choice! I love how you manage to take a very linear film and make it non-linear, whilst still making emotional sense.

Thank you so much! This was perfect; everything I could want from a vid. I loved it :D two of my most favorite things combined in one awesome vid. Great work! :) and the clip of the quote at the end is a lovely touch, it really shows the heart (and kookiness!) of this movie.

Thank you!! <3

Thank you for the suggestion of Iron & Wine in your letter. :D I really do think their music fits the movie's tone and had fun listening to them for a while before selecting a song.

Oh I love this! The apple pie shots were all brilliant, the soldiers and the 'been so alone' around the fire with friends but not family, all the layers and moments of family, very very awesome.

Randomly I loved the apple pie scene in the movie so much, especially Delmar leaving the dollar.
