"Purple Heart" lyrics - T BONE BURNETT

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
