I had enjoyable memories of my father playing Tom Leher’s songs on his record player. One song in particular haunted me: “So long Mom (I’m off to drop the bomb)”. Almost 20 years later I had to follow up with song about me as a pilot going off to drop the bomb. Kudos to Tom (and my dad.)
Gotta go now
I can’t take you
I got my orders and
I don’t know where I’m goin’
If you can wait here
I’ll be returnin’
Me and my body in spirit form
Gotta go
Mmmm gotta run
Gotta go now
Mmmm gotta run
Always know I’d do for you
What you would do for me
I’d wait forever and ever and ever and ever….
That is what I know I’d do
I’d wait eternally
If you went away from me
If you went away from me
Let me hold you; you can hold me
When we part I’ll feel the afterglow
What’s that feeling just like a tingle
From my head to my tippie toe
I love you forever
I love you forever
