Tank Park Salute Lyrics

Tank Park Salute lyrics

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
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
