Quaker City Night Hawks – Mockingbird lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on down to my house and have you a little gin
Sit right there by the fire place and tell me how you been
It's been two years since they took the bridge and the ships began to leave
Seeing you now with your family here damned if I don't believe
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird is gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
[Verse 2]
I lost my son in the fight that day we we retook the brig
We pushed on towards the outerspheres our guns drawn on the Mig
They slowed down to make atmo boys we knew that we had 'em made
Ain't a man on that ship that's still alive sure as I'm standing here today
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
[Bridge]
Bomber bomber
Wasn't there that day
When the world below him got blown away
Bomber bomber
Wasn't there that day
When everything below him got blown away
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
I'll be on it
I'll be on it
Come on down to my house and have you a little gin
Sit right there by the fire place and tell me how you been
It's been two years since they took the bridge and the ships began to leave
Seeing you now with your family here damned if I don't believe
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird is gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
[Verse 2]
I lost my son in the fight that day we we retook the brig
We pushed on towards the outerspheres our guns drawn on the Mig
They slowed down to make atmo boys we knew that we had 'em made
Ain't a man on that ship that's still alive sure as I'm standing here today
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
[Bridge]
Bomber bomber
Wasn't there that day
When the world below him got blown away
Bomber bomber
Wasn't there that day
When everything below him got blown away
[Chorus]
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
If the Mockingbird's gonna sail away
You know I'll be on it
I'll be on it
I'll be on it
I'll be on it
