Tank Park Salute Lyrics - Live At The Union Chapel - Billy Bragg

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
