Desert Gunner

Have you ever watched gunfire crack the sky?
Or watched the sand blind your eyes?
When you do,
remember that I did it too.

When you're flying by someone's ruined life,
you're sheltering them from themselves.
Losing your grip,
on this one way trip.

Look up and watch the world turn.
What's goal and what have we learned?
When this is over will anything be the same?
I don't know but it's all such a shame...

Jump out above whereabouts unknown.
Skydiving through thick and thin.
I did it once,
I did it twice,
more than three rolls of the dice.

Building a bridge over the waterfall of hate.
I'd only like to see you once more.
A dash of trouble,
and a cup of war.

Bermuda shorts in the Winter of Serendipity.
Flickering candles in the windows.
A letter return address,
that's all it shows.

Look up and watch the world turn.
What's goal and what have we learned?
When this is over will anything be the same?
I don't know but it's all such a shame...

This took me by surprise when I understood what this was about. I love the lyrics, meaning, and structure of it. It's meaningfulness is evident in you and this.

this is nice, the lyrics tell a great story.
