Tank Park Salute |
| Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers |
| Leave the light on at the top of the stairs |
| Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky |
| A tree taps on the window pane |
| That feeling smothers me again |
| Daddy is it true that we all have to die |
| At the top of the stairs |
| Is darkness |
| I closed my eyes and when I looked |
| Your name was in the memorial book |
| And what had become of all the things we planned |
| I accepted the commiserations |
| Of all your friends and your relations |
| But there’s some things I still don’t understand |
| You were so tall |
| How could you fall? |
| Some photographs of a summer’s day |
| A little boy’s lifetime away |
| Is all I’ve left of everything we’ve done |
| Like a pale moon in a sunny sky |
| Death gazes down as I pass by |
| To remind me that I’m but my father’s son |
| I offer up to you |
| This tribute |
| I offer up to you |
| This tank park salute |
