Rupert Hine - The Wildest Wish To Fly Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was not the fighter
  • So I should not want for shelter
  • With helpless ears I hear again
  • That even more are dead
  • Than anyone has ever said
  • I was not the fighter
  • Still the echoes of their gunfire
  • Penetrate my sleepy state
  • And I am walking in the shadow
  • Of a man I cannot see
  • CHORUS:
  • How could the boy so in love with war planes
  • Have seen his first flight shot down in flames
  • He was just a dreamer
  • With the wildest wish to fly
  • I was not the fighter
  • No one shoots to spill my blood
  • But while this night rages so violently
  • The hawk circles above
  • And he was just a dreamer
  • With a conscience and in love
  • He wore his wings just like a crown
  • Yet still they shot him down
  • CHORUS
  • Framed inside the doorway
  • And there's someone much like me
  • A shadow of the man he used to be
  • Have young men ever understood
  • The games old men will play
  • Was there anyone left with him today
  • CHORUS
