On a cloudless day, you went away...into a sky so blue
you heard the call, didn't hesitate at all, and did what you had to do.
You were standing there, not a trace of fear...the men were lined up too...
up the stairs, to God knows where, until heaven welcomed you.
Now the room sways as the band plays...and the cold ones are flowing freely...
thats the way you liked it, laughter and excitement, no time for hostility....
On a cloudless day, you went away, into a sky so blue... you heard
the call, didn't hesitate at all, and did what you had to do....
