Eastern Skies
Wayne wore the suit of American heroes,
Grew up in church,
And was always strong.
He did what was right,
And tried not to do wrong
But one day
I promised not to speak about it
One day
I can never forget
Sing, sing our melody
Sing until we fall asleep
Sing until the eastern sky turns blue
I'll sing, sing until i see you
It feels just like yesterday they called you away
Not knowing where you'd be or if you would survive
You wrote me letters everyday
Promising you'd come home in one piece
But one day
I promised not to speak about it
One day
I can never forget
Sing, sing our melody
Sing until we fall asleep
Sing until the eastern sky turns blue
I'll sing, sing until i see you
The blood you see everyday
You thought it would never come your way
You said you could handle it
But you were wrong that was your blood spilled
But one day
I promised not to speak about it
One day
I can never forget
Sing, sing our melody
Sing until we fall asleep
Sing until the eastern sky turns blue
I'll sing, sing until i see you
In the O.R. where you lay.
They take off your uniform to see the damage made
They hear the crinckle of paper in your pocket
It's a song I'll always sing
It's a song that you wrote for me
Sing, sing our melody
Sing until we fall asleep
Sing until the eastern sky turns blue
I'll sing, sing until i see you
Sing, sing our melody
Sing until we fall asleep
Sing until the eastern sky turns blue
I'll sing, sing until i see you
