Shades of ’45

She was quite a lady, Enola Gay
And though she's gone, she's still here today
Left her candle glowing, never knowing
If she's ever coming home to stay

Times were wild and reckless, that was her way
Heat of the moment, it burns today
And still I wonder, is it only thunder?
Or just the dawning of a nuclear day?

She said, "God is on our side
And whatever it takes, we gotta turn the tide
I'm coming home, we can laugh again"

And though we wave goodbye to silver wings on high
More than memories still survive
When I close my eyes, I see the restless sky painted
Shades of '45
Shades of '45

Oh, she came upon us, I heard them say
One silver angel, a cloud of gray
The sky was fallin', the future callin'
Lady Armageddon's here today

And though we wave goodbye to silver wings on high
More than memories still survive
I close my eyes to the restless sky painted
Shades of '45
Shades of '45
Shades of '45

No luck

She said, "God is on our side
And whatever it takes, we gotta turn the tide
I'm coming home, we can laugh again"

And though we wave goodbye to silver wings on high
More than memories still survive
When I close my eyes, I see the restless sky painted
Shades of '45
Shades of '45
Shades of '45
