Many Miles From Blacksburg
Avi Vinocur
I was many miles from Blacksburg
When the cannonfire burst
It chilled me to the marrowed bone
But did not move the earth
I was many miles from Blacksburg
But I knew that you had gone
Take what you can before God calls you on
I thought that you would be home by now
I thought that you would be home by now
But you're many miles from Blacksburg
With my father and our son
Take what you can before God takes someone
