Angel In Fatigues
Field of Grey
Off to war with no more reasons
than to see the world of the unknown
Well she packs her bags to join the legions
of all the heroes that left before
Said I'll be home in time for the holidays
and i swear to call from time to time
but if you need me, well you know my name
just look to the sky cause that's where angels fly
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
Packs her bags hiding what she fears
time to go holding back the tears
the last words spoken before she turned away
please don't worry, cause angels never fade
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
ohhh... never forget never forget
what our heroes mean
never forget never forget
when the angels sing
never forget never forget
what our heroes bring
what our heroes bring, when the angels sing
Thursday morning march 16th
The angel flies on military wings
Free to roam the heavens above
never take for granted a heroes love
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
