Listen to the Sky

歌詞

Bertie Baker was an ordinary guy So when he got the letter he was horrified But he said goodbye He filled out all the forms and the papers he could see But when he got his uniform he wished he could be With his family Got into a plane and he vanished in the haze His eyes were full of rain and his ears were full of praise Oh what a day, he's gone away If you're feelin' sad and wonder why (wonder why) Close your eyes and listen to the sky Bertie lost an engine in the heat of the attack He knew he couldn't do it but he tried to make it back Then it all turned black They found his body lying in the wreckage of the plane Suddenly wrote a letter for him and took it to explain It was not in vain Someone took particulars and someone brought a box Making sure he looked nice for his folks they changed his socks Oh what a day, he's gone away If you're feelin' sad and wonder why (wonder why) Close your eyes and listen to the sky Close your eyes and listen to the sky
