I Never Knew His Name

I never knew his name, as he called to me
Pleading with his eyes, suddenly so wise
Trying not to cry
Now hes 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 hell miss, girls hell never kiss
Things hell never try
Unaware that I never knew his name
