Eternal Flame

I was in gym when we first heard news... Shots in the plaza.
I burst through the doors and ran to the nearby bus garage.
The TV was always on.

A tear formed in Walter Cronkite's eye as he removed his glasses.
JFK was gone.

America would have to make other plans.

Leader of a nation
For such a precious time
He was a friend of mine
-- Jim/Roger McGuinn (1964)
