* 6-bar intro

I never knew his name as he called to me
Pleading with his eyes, suddenly so wise,
Trying not to cry.
Now he's gone and I never knew his name.

I've seen his kind before, rising to his fall.
God, he was so young like a song half sung
Interrupted by someone just as shy who never knew his name.

The true cost of honor is suddenly too clear.
It measures too full and dear.

He always looks the same dressed in blue or gray.
All the life he'll miss, girls he'll never kiss,
Things he'll never try,
Unaware that I never knew his name.

* 10-bar break

I never knew his name,
Guess it's just as well
So I do my part hiding from my heart,
Whispering goodbye, thanking God that I never knew his name.
