| you fell out of the sky when you were 21 | |
| your bomber took a bullet from a german gun | |
| did you think about your wife | |
| your brief and tender life | |
| did you pray to anyone? | |
| how does it feel when you’re falling | |
| can you hear sweet angels calling | |
| is it empty up in space | |
| did you touch god’s holy face | |
| did you tremble, did you cry | |
| did you fall or did you fly | |
| you fell out of your life when you were 43 | |
| you saw her and you thought she was your destiny | |
| you wandered from the path | |
| and we cursed your aftermath | |
| but that’s ancient history | |
| chorus | |
| you make it so damn hard to love you | |
| i don’t know why i even try | |
| and all i ever wanted of you | |
| to take me with you when you fly | |
| you fell out of my life one last time today | |
| i held your hand and watched you as you slipped away | |
| you cast your pilot’s eye to the endless open sky | |
| and i sent you on your way |
| you fell out of the sky when you were 21 | |
| your bomber took a bullet from a german gun | |
| did you think about your wife | |
| your brief and tender life | |
| did you pray to anyone? | |
| how does it feel when you' re falling | |
| can you hear sweet angels calling | |
| is it empty up in space | |
| did you touch god' s holy face | |
| did you tremble, did you cry | |
| did you fall or did you fly | |
| you fell out of your life when you were 43 | |
| you saw her and you thought she was your destiny | |
| you wandered from the path | |
| and we cursed your aftermath | |
| but that' s ancient history | |
| chorus | |
| you make it so damn hard to love you | |
| i don' t know why i even try | |
| and all i ever wanted of you | |
| to take me with you when you fly | |
| you fell out of my life one last time today | |
| i held your hand and watched you as you slipped away | |
| you cast your pilot' s eye to the endless open sky | |
| and i sent you on your way |
| you fell out of the sky when you were 21 | |
