Hump Pilot ~ RER

If I Could reach through Time Grandaddy ..
I'd pull you from the Wings Of War
and deposit you at Granny's Door .....
If I Could reach through Time

She waited there so many years
She shed a million longing tears ...
She listened for your footsteps
on the floor

She nurtured your baby girl
while the war raged on in a different World ..
She never gave up hope
that you'd come back home

She'd rock a while ..
remember your smile ..
and hold the folded flag
to her chest

Stayed true to you ...
and On her death bed flew
in to the Great Beyond
where you dwell

Flying Flying Flying through Heavens Door ..
on that fateful night in '44 ..
when your Breath of life was scattered
to the Chinese Winds ...

The Breath it tumbled on frozen wings
that could no longer carry Wars Earthly things ...
and the Dominoes fell
for ever more.

I love you Grandaddy
