Tailgunner of the Flying Fortress
Filipo you gotta hold the gates I've come half around the world with a promise to fulfill It's pouring and the hour is growing late The sun behind the hill less than two hours to kill So help me weave my way among these stones I've got family to see I'd rather not be alone I printed out his picture for his grave They all said growin' up they could see him in my face
Tailgunner of the Flying Fortress I'll pay my respects when I'm first in Florence I'll bring your banners to wave, we'll pour wine on top of your grave Tailgunner, it's me that you saved
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I carried here his last letters home, sent 3 days before he flew he was younger than my son This moment seems the slightest bit surreal There isn't much to say I'm not quite sure how to feel A bugle in the distance calls out taps and Filipo he turns asks me to fold the flag And bidding all you brave young men adieu Let your dreams live in me, I swear I'll see them through
Tailgunner of the Flying Fortress I'll pay my respects when I'm first in Florence I'll bring your banners to wave, we'll pour wine on top of your grave Tailgunner, it's me that you saved
