lyrics

The Black Flight
Tuning: DADFAD

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the jazz
We’re heading out for war
They shot him in the streets
Oh and we - just - want to do our part
Someone’s gotta pay and someone’s gotta make them pay

Mother don’t you worry
Father don’t you fret
Your loving son is gonna go and
Get his wings
Be it death or glory
It’ll be a grand old tale
It’ll be a grand old story

Early June ‘17
The sky was clear and blue
The engines cough, smoke and churn
Settle into queue
I wonder what they’re doing now
All the way back home
I’ll see you soon I promise you
I want to be returned

Oh we climbed into the sky
With our backs against the sun
They’re coming straight for us
We’re heading straight for them

Oh we’re all here waiting
And nothings really changing
A man in black comes down the lane
Walking slow but not stopping

He’s coming home in a letter
He’s coming home light as a feather
They say it all has a meaning
They say - there’s a cosmic reason
They wrote his name’s upon a wall
Across the ocean with them all
And sure as winter time will come
That list of names is never done

Now I sing a song
Of memories passed from son to son
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

And as I carry you
You will carry me
