\Large\bf SO I RETURN\\
\normalsize\it
\hspace*{3.5in} Music, Original text: Pham Duy\\
\hspace*{3.5in} English words: James Durst\\
\bigskip
So I return to Duy Tan street
And university hours replay
A shaded park in an azure day
The silent paths that knew your feet
So I return to summer scenes
The flick ringlamp of a student's room
Your woven hair on a rain-kissed room
Fine silk to frame your form senere
I leave you now for desert land
Where smoke of gunfire blurs the land
I leave you now for highlands wild
Where cold winds howl like an angry child
I leave you now, my load is packed
I take no hope of coming back
The path unfolds like a young man's dream
Of knowing love and what it means
So I return to youthfu streets
Where lovers meet and promenade
They sit and sip their lemonade
I drank your slips, they were so sweet
So I return, eternal love
And cherished friends, both old and new
Deep in my heart I'll shelter you
Until I've found the stolen dove
So I return
So I return
I leave you now\\
