Steaming kitchen
Droplets trickle down the wall
Pictures hanging
Handsome pilot, standing tall

Bomber jacket
Sunlight on the wing
Loop the loop
Makes my heart sing

Mother’s talking
I heard it all before
But I’ll be walking
Before you go to war

Goodbye sweetheart
Now I’ll love you from afar
Yes, I’ve been grounded
So be my shooting star

I know I should have listened
When you told me about the war
I know I should have listened
Because you’ve seen it all before

Steaming kitchen
Droplets trickle down the wall
Pictures hanging
Handsome pilot, who did fall

Goodbye sweetheart
Now I’ll love you from afar
Yes, you were grounded
You were my shooting star

I know I should have listened
When you told me about the war
I know I should have listened
Because you’ve seen it all before
