Sky Pilot I knew a boy once when we were in the war oh he was brave but he had nothin’ on you It was too much for him He didn’t ask to be saved You didn’t ask for this but this is what I gave you This is all I gave you. My first-born green-eyed son You’ve always been the one to square your jaw and do what I insist If I say raise your gun I know the shot will come I know the scars that cross your body are the marks of deference And on the highway in the dark I ask for her forgiveness And in the night I hope she’ll come to me, she’ll comfort me She’ll take my face between her hands She’ll take the sound of bombs and turn them into drums Oh when she comes I hope she understands Oh when she comes, I hope she understands Is there a difference Between my boy and him And all the boys in all the fights without an end? Our stars are made of salt Our moon is etched in flame The sky is huge above the silver of the land God, I hope someday I’ll understand. And in the night I hope she’ll come to me, she’ll comfort me She’ll take my face between her hands She’ll take the sound of bombs and turn them into drums Oh when she comes I hope she understands Oh when she comes, I hope she understands – ,
