Crack!! The gun screams And my arm stings And aches. My ears ring Birds are flying The bottle’s hit! I cheer! “No Jumping!” Charlie yells, “Put the safety on!” I calm down But inside, I’m still cheering.
Flocks of angels Hear my cry Take flight In one endless sky Wings of gold Wings of silver Wings of ivory And ebony All together In an endless sky (Sung to the intro of The Highwayman by Loreena McKennitt)
