The Black Lillies - Catherine lyrics

Sergeant Foster, tell me now straight 4,000 pounds of fire and we're in over bred You say you don't believe we'll ever get her off the ground Don't worry, Sergeant, she ain't never let me down No, she ain't never let me down Up there with the birds and the angels and the bombs 89 missions and I ain't 21 Thinking of my mother and the girl I left behind Come on, silver darling, we were born to fly Yeah, we were born to fly And my Catherine, carry me on your wings To Lake Michigan in childhood dreams Red, narrow, highway, cut right through our town Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground Remember them German boys from Chicago town sponsored links Marching down Main Street and nobody made a sound Wasn't but a child then, and I ain't much older now Looking back to the smoking flames I never saw coming down No, I never saw coming down And my Catherine, carry me on your wings To Lake Michigan in childhood dreams Red, narrow, highway, cut right through our town Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground Navel across the ocean, been all around this land Born to do a riddling, got drunk in Paris, France Lost alone around the river, can't be much longer now Have you heard the news today, we're all heroes now Yeah, we're all heroes now And my Catherine, carry me on your wings To Lake Michigan in childhood dreams Red, narrow, highway, cut right through our town Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
