Billy Bragg - Tank Park Salute lyrics

Your rating:

Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
A tree taps on the window pane
Thet feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die

At the top of the stairs
Is darkness

I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
And what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there'some thing I still don't understand

You were so tall
How could you fall?

Some photograpgs of a summer's day
A little boys lifetime away
Is all I've left of everything we've done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
To remind me that I'm but my fathers son

I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute
