lyrics
Flash in a bottle pass it around,
your sons and daughters will lay it down,
careful to let it not touch the ground
flash in a bottle pass it around.
I left the morning you got the call,
father was breaking down in the hall,
your sister cried like she’d never done before—
flash in a bottle broken and torn.
He was a fighter making the rounds,
taken to slaughter without a sound,
never was angered when they ran him out of town,
flash in a bottle hitting the ground.
She moves her lips as she’s reading the note
he wrote that morn in the words of a poet:
‘I bid you farewell though I know not where I’m going,
like a flash in a bottle left and alone.’
Flash in a bottle don’t let us down,
give us no warning where you are bound,
set like a sun that’s gently laying down,
flash in a bottle— broken but proud.
your sons and daughters will lay it down,
careful to let it not touch the ground
flash in a bottle pass it around.
I left the morning you got the call,
father was breaking down in the hall,
your sister cried like she’d never done before—
flash in a bottle broken and torn.
He was a fighter making the rounds,
taken to slaughter without a sound,
never was angered when they ran him out of town,
flash in a bottle hitting the ground.
She moves her lips as she’s reading the note
he wrote that morn in the words of a poet:
‘I bid you farewell though I know not where I’m going,
like a flash in a bottle left and alone.’
Flash in a bottle don’t let us down,
give us no warning where you are bound,
set like a sun that’s gently laying down,
flash in a bottle— broken but proud.
