Cathy Come Home

There’s a shot

I clicked the shutter

There’s a shot

Hear the report

Cathy Come Home

There’s a shot

So I thought

I should take it

Make you immortal

Cathy Come Home

 

If a child pulls apart a petal

He may cry

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

Bullets sometimes pierce the metal

You can’t identify

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

 

There’s a frame

And an explanation

No-one can blame her

All her youth

And all the beauty

She was doing her duty?

Singing songs in a solider’s suit

Embroidered with her name

Muffled drums and a folded flag

 

Take aim

 

Then there’s a volley

 

Reload!

 

Reload twenty times more

 

Reload!

 

Then there’s a volley

 

Reload!

 

Reload a volley

 

Reload!

Then there’s a volley

 

For the unknown

Cathy Come Home

Cathy come

 

If a child pulls apart a petal

He may cry

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

 

When a child pulls apart a petal

He may cry

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

Cathy come

 

When a child pulls apart a petal

He may cry

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

Cathy come

 

When a child pulls apart a petal

You can’t identify

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home

Cathy Come Home
