My name is Marley Peyton, my middle name is Rose
I never met nobody from up North I don't suppose
But I can sing a song for you, you can sing it too
"Twinkle twinkle silver star
"Twinkle twinkle silver star
"Twinkle twinkle silver star, I will wait for you"
I come from Carolina - the middle of this day
Got married to a soldier boy in 1968
Or was it '69 now - my memory don't serve me well
Oh, oh...
Papa he cried for his little girl; Mama she cried for joy
Me I lay awake and cry for the love of my soldier boy
Some say that he went crazy; some say he was before
Mama mama pray for me, Mama mama pray for me
Mama mama pray for me, me and my soldier boy
Outside the rain comes pouring down
Through the rain I hear him call
Half-past ten and he wants in
Ain't nothin' gonna stop him at all
"Oh come to me my soldier, come to me my life
Come to me my soldier boy on this our wedding night..."
His shadow fills my doorway
His weapon in his hand
I hear him scream to no one there
He'll drop us where we stand
And in his eyes a fire burns this village he takes down
And from the wall one Silver Star now falls without a sound
I hear him pull the trigger
They say he felt no pain
I left lying where he stood
Face down in the pouring rain
And on the ground beneath his head a Silver Star does lay
And in his fist one single rose from this our wedding day
My name is Marley Peyton, my middle name is Rose
I never met nobody from up North I don't suppose
But I can sing a song for you; you can sing it too
"Twinkle twinkle Silver Star
Twinkle twinkle Silver Star
Twinkle twinkle Silver Star
I will wait for you..."
